Rob:
We are using MediaWiki for our company wiki, when a employee goes to our wiki they are taken to the main page and then they are able to navigate through the site. I want the employees to login *before* they are directed to the main page (or any page for that matter).
I use namespace protection throughout the site and to make it simpler for the employees it would be easier if they logged in first (every employee has an account w/permission to edit various namespaces). Some employees are confused by the login "errors" they receive when they want to edit a page. After I explain that its not an error and that they need to login to edit pages they understand. But I'm just trying to curb these panic attacks by making them login before they are even allowed to access the site.
I hope this makes sense...

I'm sorry, my intentions were not to mislead anybody. I was looking for a way to make users login first, then be directed to the wiki.
I apologize for any confusion. I am new to MediaWiki and PHP. I'm struggling to get this up and running for my company and implement the features they would like to see.
I appreciate the help you all have given me so far.
Perhaps it would be useful if you could briefly restate the problem, assuming none of the solutions provided to date have been helpful, so we can understand what we're being asked?
Some indication of expected behaviour would be great.
