Worried about http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Lockdown#Hiding_pages
I just instead successfully in LocalSettings.php did:
function JidanniLessSpecialPages(&$list){
  foreach(array('Uncategorizedimages','Unusedimages','Withoutinterwiki','Upload',
		'Newimages','Listfiles','MIMEsearch','FileDuplicateSearch','Filepath',
		'Booksources','Mostimages','Tags','Disambiguations'
		)as $i){unset($list[$i]);}
  global $wgUser;
  if(!$wgUser->isAllowed('editinterface')){unset($list[Ipblocklist]);}
  return true;}
$wgHooks['SpecialPage_initList'][]='JidanniLessSpecialPages';
