The lines Bawolff and I posted (the ones starting with "$wgGroupPermissions") do not belong in a wiki page. They cannot be added with your MediaWiki account. You cannot add them with your webbrowser.

MediaWiki is installed somewhere on your server. There it has a lot of files; PHP files and so. You need special access to your server to be able to see them; you need access via FTP or Shell. One of these files is called "LocalSettings.php". This is the file, in which you have to add these lines.
