Hi people, because a silly person has been rude to me, I'd like to say that
only this kind of people could imagine a list member posting wrong answers
just out of pleasure. The whole thing ends up as I've meant: Mediawiki is
designed to share knowledge and any other use is a bit unproductive. Good
new year for everyone! Nevio

Bri,
There are a few good extensions for doing what [I think] you want to do,
but
you can actually control permissions like this just by defining custom
namespaces and groups in your localsettings.php file.
That said, the extensions for this generally give you an easier way to do
it. The problems with managing permissions is that it quickly becomes an
administrative time-suck. The complexity of figuring out who gets which
permissions on which page (or category or namespace) can really make things
confusing. Recommend you look at these:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Category:User_rights_extensions
And read up on these:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Preventing_access
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:User_rights
Personally, I use this extension, but you'll want to plan some time to work
with the author.
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:GroupPermissionsManager
The whole experience with user permission management is fraught with peril,
but if you stick to it you'll find many workable solutions.

I have looked, but not found a way to hide a page from
non-administrators.
If someone knows how to do this, please explain
it or provide a URL to
the mediawiki article.
Thanks,
Bri
