The principle I advise my consulting clients to use with an enterprise wiki is: “Share as much as you can. Secure only what needs to be private.”

To be clear on one thing, though, wikis and content management systems are fundamentally different. A content management system puts restrictions at the end of a process (i.e. people can submit content, but it must be approved before it’s published), while a wiki puts any restrictions at the beginning of a process (i.e., a person has to have edit access to contribute to a wiki page, but once they have access, anything they contribute is immediately published and readable by others).
