Hi all, Thanks for all the responses. I suppose I'll try the Collection extension for now unless someone knows of a slick solution.
Martin, I agree about a Wiki not being a CMS and I'm not thrilled to be trying to limit access, but it's only a really small subset of the articles. I am running MW1.28 though, so it appears the Lockdown extension isn't available to me (it has been updated to show unmaintained vs. stable now, I'm guessing after someone read this thread). Chris and John, I've found it to actually be a blessing that it isn't straightforward to provide discrete access control in an enterprise Wiki. If it were easy, what would the ideal lockdown strategy be? Engineering might propose one, R&D another, marketing a third. The fact that in general, for a private enterprise Wiki, everyone has to use the same "silo of information" ends up being a huge win for the company. At least in my experience :) Thanks again!
