I would like to use [[category:name]] to list the articles within the category, but omit articles within certain namespaces unless the user is a member of a certain group.
Is this possible?
Any help greatly appreciated

But make sure to read the warning at the top. MediaWiki is not made to keep secrets. – Mar 13 '13 at 20:05

I don't need it be kept secret, just to keep a namespace off the category view unless a user is in the admin group. Thank you for the suggestion but that extension does not provide a patch for post 1.16 Wiki and I am running 1.20.2 – kadeshiseraph Mar 15 '13 at 10:09

I noticed you're running 1.20.2, which has group CSS and js pages, such as MediaWiki:Group-sysop.css. Assuming you're hiding Mediawiki pages, add
.page-Category_CATEGORYNAME a[href*="MediaWiki"] {display:none;}
to MediaWiki:Common.css, then add
.page-Category_CATEGORYNAME a[href*="MediaWiki"] {display:inline !important;}
to MediaWiki:Group-sysop.css. This does leave a spare bullet point behind though, which can only be removed with javascript as CSS3 doesn't support selecting a parent selector. For more information on that see here.
