Now let's go the opposite way then: to protect a part of my Wiki, I would have to actually create a second Wiki for the private part, and protect it with some other mechanism, say .htaccess / mod_auth. Now how much interaction can I get between the public and the private Wiki. Can I: - access images and pages from one to the other using Wiki links (interwiki ?)
You can use interwiki links to link pages between the two.
For images, you might try the shared upload directory support (which use use to make Wikimedia Commons a central image repository accessible from all our projects). You might also be able to get away with just sharing an upload path/directory, though this could lead to some inconsistencies in the image table if you upload an image with the same name in both places.
- share skins - share extensions
These are code outside of the wiki, so naturally can be shared.
