And the are right to say that.
"MediaWiki is not designed to be a CMS, or to protect sensitive data.
To the contrary, it was designed to be as open as possible. Thus it
does not inherently support full featured, air-tight protection of
private content. But with the massive increase of MediaWiki use in
corporate intranets and the many CMS-like features emerging, demand
for tighter security is emerging."

What happens if security is not tight enough? Is security important in
your intranet?
