Password protect your Mediawiki wikis

I found the following guide explaining how Mediawiki wikis can be password protected with basic http/htaccess authentication. The Apache directives listed in step 5 of this guide will need to be wrapped in a <Directory> or <Location> tag, as warranted.

Unfortunately, there doesn’t seem to be a way at time of writing to password protect individual wiki pages, but you can use these instructions in conjunction with my “Managing multiple Mediawiki wikis from a single install” post instructions to separate out your wiki content into public and private areas.
