That's not true. Just because it is private doesn't mean it is restricted
to the same people.
Things on a private wiki shouldn't be shared more widely without
consultation than the people that posted them could have reasonably
expected when they posted them.
May be, or may be not. (Members of internalwiki change constantly, so
e.g. there's no way I could know who has had access to what I wrote
there 5 years ago. I don't remember being consulted about every new user
created there after I got myself removed.)
At any rate, if you're moving content to another restricted wiki with
trusted members, you don't have to worry about private stuff being
published by mistake forever: if a mistake happens, you just have to
delete it. Finally, namespaces can take care of ensuring that stuff
keeps being restricted to the same groups as usual, if really needed.
