Telstra is using MediaWiki, huh? Very cool! :)
This extension might be useful for you: (I haven't used it)

Q: I would like to get a category section like the one
on wikipedia
front page(after your language choice at top right). So you have
overarching categories and subs under them.
How is that done with the FCK editor?
Categories are created right within the wiki. Any page can be added to
a category by editing the page and typing [[Category:Foo]] (unless you
use the extension above).
Categories will appear as red links at the bottom of pages until the
categories are also created. The best way to create a category is
edit the page and add a parent category.
Then on the main page of your wiki, you can link to a category page
(instead of adding the page to the category) by inserting a leading
colon in the link:
"Look at [[:Category:Policies]], [[:Category:Documentation]] or
[[:Category:Dealing with complaints]]" (or... whatever :))
Also
Q: Can you have closed user categories/groups?
Do you mean categories that only sysops can add items to? No.
It's not clear what you're trying to ask.
HTH,
