Hi, Compartment authorization means that some content is only accessible by a specific group of authorized employees. In the Windows world ADS Groups are used for this. Also see http://www.gilyehuda.com/2009/09/25/mediawiki-limits-e20/ why currently Mediawiki is not the best solution for enterprises.
A former colleague of me has reported a bug related to FCK Editor in 2008, but a fix was never find (http://dev.ckeditor.com/ticket/2586). BTW: We were successful using Mediawiki for describing ways of work in departments and disciplines. But we now also see employees moving towards SharePoint and request for better integration of the Wiki platform with SharePoint. So if you asked me the top of features for using Mediawiki in the enterprise: - Compartment authorization (article, category, namespace, wiki). - Support for search scopes. - SharePoint integration. - Support for easy setup of new Wiki's (like you create a site in SharePoint). - Easy upgrade to newer versions.
