If you need a private discussion area, create a private forum website that only your sysops know the link and set it up so only they can see the forum boards on such a forum. It's not a thing that you can make a wiki private here and it can be freely editable here, it's just for anyone who has the link to the blog or forum thread can view it and comment too (if the thread is not closed) which will not appear in the contributions (for anyone else but the person who created it can view it through it's own contributions), wiki activity and recent changes. As for those recent changes logs, that needs to be overseen to admins only to that users admin and up can view them through recent changes. If you want to filter those out like your telling the page to opt these out of the page (much like saying no thank you to adding it to the list when you edit these pages to customize the themes and scripts, use these codes and put them in MediaWiki:Wikia.css, MediaWiki:Common.css and MediaWiki:Monobook.css:

table.mw-enhanced-rc.mw-changeslist-ns8-Wikia_css { visibility: hidden; position: absolute; top: -9999px; }

table.mw-enhanced-rc.mw-changeslist-ns8-Common_css { visibility: hidden; position: absolute; top: -9999px; }

table.mw-enhanced-rc.mw-changeslist-ns8-Monobook_css { visibility: hidden; position: absolute; top: -9999px; }

table.mw-enhanced-rc.mw-changeslist-ns8-Wikia_js { visibility: hidden; position: absolute; top: -9999px; }

table.mw-enhanced-rc.mw-changeslist-ns8-Common_js { visibility: hidden; position: absolute; top: -9999px; }

table.mw-enhanced-rc.mw-changeslist-ns8-Monobook_js { visibility: hidden; position: absolute; top: -9999px; }

Those customizations might be used as a recent changes filter if you want them off the recent changes list. I think they need to tame the terms of use and allow these filters to be in use like that and put these exclusions on the anti-remove features policy. As from what I know of, those block logs rights logs and wiki features logs in the public logs page should remain in there, but it can be excluded from recent changes as these are not contributions stuff.
