Restrict access to a MediaWiki page to specific users

I have some pages which I want to restrict access to specific users, i.e, I want user A and user B only to view this page. How can this be done? Do I need additional extensions or it can be done through LocalSettings.php for example?

You could try this extension: Extension:AccessControl. I've not deployed it to my wiki sites, but a quick read of the pages suggests it might be what you're looking for.

Note though that as Tgr covered in the comments above, Mediawiki is not intended to operate like this, so the extension could be fundamentally flawed in its implementation. Practise due diligence if you try to deploy any 3rd party extensions. Alternatively, look into alternative CMSs that handle access control as a core feature.
