I have been reading carefully through the mediawiki documentation but I have not been able to find out how to create new groups.

When I look at Special:Userrights, I see only 3 groups : Bots, Sysops, Bureaycrats

I would like to create my own custom groups, so I can use some extensions like the http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Group_Based_Access_Control.

Can someone tell me how it's done, or point me to some documentation?

How do I create my own custom group in mediawiki?

I am stuck over an access right situation,

I have users creating articles/pages on MediaWiki, I have restricted it over registered/autoconfirmed users to only, But now the requirement is, that, Only an article can be displayed to anyone other than , creator or sysop only after the sysop approves that page/article. till then only the creator or sysop can edit that article.

I have tried FlaggedRevs extension, and several other small restrictions, but couldn't get exactly what I am looking for.

Access restriction on MediaWiki: make pages private until approved

How to check if user have sysop or other permission (in file LocalSettings.php or extension)? 

Check if user is sysop 

My user is part of the sysop group, but I do not see a way to edit the history. I have even added the variable $wgRCMaxAge = 2592000 to the LocalSettings.php file. 

How do I delete history on MediaWiki

I've installed the MediaWiki engine hoping to create a private wiki with only two users, myself as an administrator to post information and another user to read it. Nobody warned me about this, but it turned out to be much complicated than I could imagined. I have to use jSON requests to perform actions like creating users and I have absolutely no experience in that. I managed to form a proper request, but now it tells me to use the POST request. I even found this site: http://requestmaker.com/ to simplify things, but still have no idea how exacly do I submit this command. Can I please have a newbie explanation on how I do this?
