Server owners can use multiple means, without any wiki features, to ensure their own staff can communicate with them in a sufficiently discrete manner.

I don't think the problem of not having a discrete communication channel between a server owner and his staff members is a problem the wiki staff should have to deal with. If wiki users breach the rules of conduct of the wiki by initiating and contributing to inappropriate communication regarding wiki staff or other contributors, the wiki staff should deal with it according to the wiki rules and procedures. If a player or server staff member disobeys the rules of a server, for instance by using inappropriate communication channels for sensitive subjects or unacceptable ways of communicating, the server staff should deal with it appropriately. These are two separate issues. Wiki admins, beware of trying to solve problems that are not your own.

Now it would indeed be nice if this wiki had a private message functionality, but I wouldn't implement it just to solve problems that are not 'owner by this wiki'. Also consider private messaging has it's downside ... when fully active as server manager @ DFR I get dozens each week, apart from the numerous forum threads I should follow ... I don't think either LOTRMod or the wiki admins will be looking forward to such a perspective.
