I have stated, and continue to maintain, that to implement strong, per-page access controls, to the level that some organisations require, within MediaWiki would require a considerable rewrite and a rethink of a lot of aspects of the software, and that such a change would *not* be consistent with the purpose and intended use case for MediaWiki.
No one seems to have mentioned the obvious, which is that in these cases the best thing is probably just to lock down the whole webserver with a name and password. Where I'm working now does that and it works perectly well - we have about 5 different MediaWiki wikis, and different people have access to different ones.
