Try with the lockdown extension http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Lockdown
Note that mediawiki is not designed for keeping secrets, so there may be a way of reading the page that isn't blocked. A game is not a critical thing, but cheaters aren't welcome either. Be careful with the page names, there might be ways of reading the title but not the content (the silliest, a forgotten link on a now-visible page). And in your case just knowing the page title might be quite relevant for the players.
Thank you for the suggestion. I understand the nature of the wiki is counter to what I was asking and that the work-arounds are not DoD (Department of Defense) stringent.
Interestingly, MediaWiki *is* used in DoD type installations. The method of lockdown is usually to have a separate wiki at each security level thus security is controlled at the server level instead of within the Wiki itself.
Cheers, Rob.
