Ok, that was a bit flippant of me, but I think the level of security
provided is proportionate to the data being protected in this case.
YMMV.

It will protect your wiki password from casual interception at the
coffee shop, which is important if you're bone-headed enough to use a
password that is also used to secure more important things (bank
accounts).  No it won't protect against MITM.

OTOH one reason to go ahead and get a signed certificate is that
security conscious networks (govt, many corporate networks, etc) block
sites using self-signed certs.

Jav, thanks for the pointer.  I think that will solve some problems
for me at work.
