If you use MediaWiki 1.13.3 with the latest patch changes made in hidden namespaces are hidden from users without the proper rights.
This works for me, at least. Please let us know if you have discovered something that does not work.

This bug is related to the actual performance of the patch. It might be fixed if hiddenwiki is changed to an extension, but an imminent solution is not expected.
This bug also causes the MW search suggestion function to fail.
