Extension:GroupsSidebar

'''NOTE: This extension requires MediaWiki 1.16 (r59215). You have to run MediaWiki 1.16.0 (or any later version) or this Extension will not work for you'''.

If you have usergroups and would like to add sidebar elements just for usergroup, you can use this extension.

Installation & Usage
Download the extension from SVN and place it in MediaWiki's extensions folder. You have to edit your LocalSettings.php. Add at the end of the file the following text:

The resulting message names are "MediaWiki:Sidebar-groupname" whereas groupname is something like "sysop" or "user". For example, the message name could be MediaWiki:Sidebar-sysop. You can edit it the same way you edit the normal sidebar.

Note: You have to set $wgEnableSidebarCache to false in case you enabled it for performance reasons.
