You can also use an add-on to "restrict" pages. I use this at UNC, as most of our wiki is internal to the lab, but some parts of it should be publicly visible, so lab-exclusives are restricted. It does add extra work, though, since users need to be manually added to the "restrict" group.

I'd say, though, that C's suggestion of just using .htaccess would probably be the best, but its not the only way.

If you search on exact page title, you get great results. Results are
decent within the full text of page bodies. Search is not a strong
point, but it's not broken either.

As for security, it gets harder if you need lots of people seeing most
of the wiki and a select few seeing only part, but if the only people
who need access to your wiki at all are people in your department,
then you can lock down the whole wiki in a variety of easy ways, the
easiest of all being a .htaccess on the directory.

Hope that helps,

Hey gang,

More wiki questions, because I'm too lazy to look at the Mediawiki info. My
main concerns are searchability and security, searchability in that an entry
could have tags or keywords and be searchable by those tags or keywords, and
security in that only the people in my department can view and edit the
thing (it will probably reside on our company's intranet). Does Mediawiki
provide these things?

Thanks again.
