Wich would be interesting would be to make like in Knol: possibility of having signed pages : ie with the title : "Page Tilte (Name of the owner)".
We are using it at Design Platform because this is a way to encourage participation and for the user, to filter wich pages are synthesis content and wich are personal stories from autors (well, we host stories also, that's the point), all the deal is with the search engine : user sould have the possibility to exclude thoose pages. If not the results in the search engine would be... well, like in Knoll : it is impossible to find anything. We have not looked at technics about pages protection, for the moment this is based on admins control, so it is not a question, more a remark on how an encyclopedia can benefit from some CMS abilities. 2009/7/7 Platonides Platonides@gmail.com

Hi,
(sorry for my poor english... I speak french...;-) )
I have actually a wiki where the users are members of different groups.
Some
groups are able to read, some others to read/write, etc...
My wiki is divided in categories. One of them is a kind of mini-portal
for a
specific group. This category is accessed usually by a specific user (a generic user) that all the group uses.
I have receive today a request : is it possible for this generic user to view ONLY the pages in ONLY one category ?
Example : if I have Category A, Category B and Category C, is it possible for this generic user to access only Category C, and never Category A and Category B ? If in a page of Category C there is a link to a page in Category A, he should receive an error, or an access denied message, something like that...
Is it possible ? Some ideas ?
Thanks in advance !

No. MediaWiki is not a CMS. There're some extensions to add user rights to mediawiki http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Category:Page_specific_user_rights_extensions but many of them are incomplete.
