Wich would be interesting would be to make like in Knol: possibility of
having signed pages : ie with the title : "Page Tilte (Name of the owner)".
We are using it at Design Platform because this is a way to encourage
participation and for the user, to filter wich pages are synthesis content
and wich are personal stories from autors (well, we host stories also,
that's the point), all the deal is with the search engine : user sould have
the possibility to exclude thoose pages. If not the results in the search
engine would be... well, like in Knoll : it is impossible to find anything.
We have not looked at technics about pages protection, for the moment this
is based on admins control, so it is not a question, more a remark on how an
encyclopedia can benefit from some CMS abilities.

Hi,
(sorry for my poor english... I speak french...;-) )
I have actually a wiki where the users are members of different groups.
Some
groups are able to read, some others to
read/write, etc...
My wiki is divided in categories. One of them is a kind of mini-portal
for a
specific group. This category is accessed usually
by a specific user (a
generic user) that all the group uses.
I have receive today a request : is it possible for this generic user to
view ONLY the pages in ONLY one category ?
Example : if I have Category A, Category B and Category C, is it possible
for this generic user to access only Category C, and never Category A and
Category B ? If in a page of Category C there is a link to a page in
Category A, he should receive an error, or an access denied message,
something like that...
Is it possible ? Some ideas ?
Thanks in advance !

No. MediaWiki is not a CMS.
There're some extensions to add user rights to mediawiki
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Category:Page_specific_user_rights_extensions
but many of them are incomplete.
