There are items, which management, for instance, does not want available to everyone, while in preparation. It is not about things being secret. Rather about things being presented at a given time, in a given shape. A reasonable policy for a proper internal communication. On virtually every page of a MediaWiki permissions related module there is a red message that whoever needs per page permissions should look for another system. Some modules providing permissions per namespace seem quite OK, however closer look shows that in some cases the namespaced pages escape the protection, i.e. in places like "resently modified pages", etc. My question is - is there an effort under way to close these gaps and an estimation of the work needed?
