Yes, you can have a filter to do that. Then you need to decide on
which criteria the filter is working on. Previously we have a filter
based on the page name prefix. Let's say we have a staff group, and we
need to create a page called "Hello World" which can only be edited by
the staff group. Instead of creating a page HelloWorld, we create a
page StaffHelloWorld. Because of the prefix "Staff", the filter knows
what ACL to apply.
But this mechanism was complained about a lot by our wiki users. It
was confusing and intrusive. Now we abandoned this mechanism, and rely
on in-page ACL only.
Further thoughts on page ACLs. It seems currently all wiki pages are
in a flat big directory, so that there is no support for hierarchy and
inheritance of ACLs. If wiki pages can have hierarchy, in that we can
group relevant wiki pages into directories. Then we could have a less
intrusive way to apply ACLs, e.g., we can make all pages in the
"staff" directory, like /wiki/staff/HelloWorld, only visible to the
staff group.
