Actually, even if you choose "none" for your license type, it still populates the GFDL tag in Special:AllMessages. I sent an e-mail off to Jimbo regarding copyrights on non-public documents,to which he replied that we are free to publish documents under any license we wish, even if it is proprietary. This would fall under the Typical Commercial Licenses as outlined in the FAQ.

I would like to use a wiki to document some private projects. I do not wish to change the mediawiki source-code or redistribute my own version of it so I am happy to use it under the terms of the GPL. However, I am confused because the 'edit' tab of my new wiki states that anything contributed to my wiki is under the terms of the GFDL.
When you were setting up your Wiki, you told it you wanted to license it under the GFDL, then. You probably wanted "No license" instead.
