I had already installed this patch a few weeks ago. However one department can not see the wiki topics of another department. Only the "restrict" or "view restrict" groups can see the restricted pages with the Page_access_restriction patch and this is not what my company wants. Wiki is a great software, but we need more than this.
Thanks JeJ =D

There's no support for anything like that. All pages are visible to everyone at all times, unless you set up the global read whitelist, which applies equally to those without read permssiion. If you are stuck there, you can't edit or perform any other actions than view of those whitelisted pages.
MediaWiki is *not* designed for complex restricted read access. If you require this you should use software designed for it.
or patch MediaWiki with this : http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Page_access_restriction_with_MediaWiki
