Doesn't MediaWiki allow access control per namespace?
By default, no.
Actually, yes. I don't know how much I'd trust it for limited *read* access, but it probably works. Mostly. :)
Really? How? The only per namespace restrictions I know of is $wgNamespaceProtection or whatever it's called, but AFAIK, that just stops editing, not reading.
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:%24wgNonincludableNamespaces is also in the main code, but that doesn't directly limit read access.
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Hidden_pages is something else to look at.
But neither is a complete answer to your question. Brion, are you talking about an extension, or main code feature?
