I am not sure... The simpler the awki is, the easier it is to
understand and maintain :)

And Apache is already 99,9999% guaranteed to be bug-free and rock solid.

Here is a full .htaccess solution for blocking everyone except you from posting:

AuthName "My Private Wiki"
AuthType Basic
<Limit POST>
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from 192.168.0.1
</Limit>

Here is a full solution for allowing everyone except certain IP ranges:

AuthName "My Private Wiki"
AuthType Basic
<Limit POST>
order allow,deny
allow from all
deny from .microsoft.com
deny from 24.112.106.135
</Limit>

So you split wiki development and security worries.

Cheers,
Johan
