The PrivatePageProtection extension implements a way to restrict access to specific pages using a parser function. Using that parser function, the user groups that should have access to the page can be listed directly in the page.
Usage
To restrict access to a page, add this text to the top of the article you want to restrict access to:
{{#allow-groups:sysop}}
would restrict access to the sysop group.
{{#allow-groups:autoconfirmed|emailconfirmed}}
restricts access to members of the autoconfirmed and emailconfirmed groups.
User can not save a page which restricts access to groups the user does not belong to. That is, users can not lock themselves out of pages.
