You could try DumpHTML and then have a chron task to copy the selected outputs to a area where areas can access them

Hi all,
Thanks for all the responses. I suppose I'll try the Collection extension for now unless someone knows of a slick solution.
Martin, I agree about a Wiki not being a CMS and I'm not thrilled to be trying to limit access, but it's only a really small subset of the articles. I am running MW1.28 though, so it appears the Lockdown extension isn't available to me (it has been updated to show unmaintained vs. stable now, I'm guessing after someone read this thread).
Chris and John, I've found it to actually be a blessing that it isn't straightforward to provide discrete access control in an enterprise Wiki. If it were easy, what would the ideal lockdown strategy be? Engineering might propose one, R&D another, marketing a third. The fact that in general, for a private enterprise Wiki, everyone has to use the same "silo of information" ends up being a huge win for the company. At least in my experience :)
Thanks again! Bryan

Yes, but the info box also states 1.23 - 1.26. So there is a version constraint for stable. This is however just a side note.
I believe the extension as such is "fixed" now however MediaWiki core has an issue since REL1_27 that makes it not working at a 100 percent. I am on my knees begging for a fix for a year now. However I am one of the very few so there is no real "pressure" apart from the fact that it is among the most popular extensions. Toi, toi, toi ... Sadly I am not able to propose a change-set myself since I lack the knowledge to do so.
Do not get me wrong: A) If one needs 100% only a separate wiki instance will help. B) Lockdown already covers a lot in most use cases in an acceptable manner so A was not required in most cases I have encountered so far.
Cheers Karsten

Heff, ok, thanks then. It is propagated as "stable" at it's MediaWiki page...

Martin,
A quick note: The Lockdown extension has not worked since Mediawiki 1.26. If I’m not mistaken almost all the access restriction extensions no longer work (several of the older extensions, like Lockdown & SemanticACL, were good at access restrictions). The philosophy that a wiki must be totally open, regardless of the needs of many, especially Enterprise users, seems to have a firm hold on the mind-set of Mediawiki developers.

Just a note, because it may not be clear from what I written above. This will require a) having the shared content public b) having the external users accounts on the wiki. I beleive that you was asked for account-removing because they should not have access to the entrie wiki, but only to limited subset of pages. The extension Lockdown allows you to accomplish such thing.

Hello,
just a info: MediaWiki is not a CMS but a Wiki. This may be not 100% secure but it should work. You may want to have a look at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Lockdown .
Best, Martin Urbanec (cs.wikipedia)
