We are working with two different but similar issues here.
We have a request for a wiki that would be entirely private, for a specific group of gov't users. For that one, I believe all registrations would be manually approved, and no pages can be seen unless the user is logged in.
That's easy to setup.
We have one wiki set up that is supposed to be public, but one group of users needs to have a private section. We set up a namespace for that section, but we can't figure out how to create pages for that namespace. We don't want any other users to see that namespace, except those that will be editing it. I'm thinking that those requiring access to that namespace would be manually added?
But mediawiki doesn't support "secret namespaces". You could get it using extensions, but it may unexpectedly leak. Using a another wiki with the same logins would be safer.
