You'd better look at twiki first before deciding on using mediawiki if you need good a permission control. But the formatting rules in twiki look stupid somehow.

You can simply call the page "English CV" if you like, but the page's title is going to appear just so in the URL. It's a wiki, not a general purpose CMS, so sometimes this is a compromise.
