Extension:GroupsSidebar

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

Installation & Usage

Of course, you should set $wgGroupsSidebar according to your needs. The syntax is the following: $wgGroupsSidebar[' '] = '';.  will be appended to "MediaWiki:Sidebar-", so if you choose "sysop" as your suffix, your Sidebar element should be placed in MediaWiki:Sidebar-admin. You can use the same syntax and features as on MediaWiki:Sidebar.
