If you're using Apache, and (as you imply) want a login before even  
allowing read access, how about using a .htaccess file?

Drawback: they'd have to login twice; once to get through  
the .htaccess (which could be a common id/pass for all trusted users),  
then a second time to log into the wiki.

Yea, it's a bit of a kludge, but it's pretty much a zero effort  
solution.
