<p>UserTags can't change the rights of a usergroup. That's something that Wikia Staff can do if necessary. </p><p>If you want to do that, <span class="plainlinks">contact Fandom Staff</span>. </p>

<p>Alright.  Thank you Ransom. </p><p>What about making now groups?  is that done one group per file as in "<MY WIKIA>Wiki:<GROUP1>", "<MY WIKIA>Wiki:<GROUP2>", etcetera? </p>

<p>New groups are also added by staff. Again, not something you can do yourself. </p>

<p>If that's indeed true, then the tutorial I linked above should reflect that.  It states: </p><p></p><blockquote>Let's make a simple example, let's say you want to create 3 tags: "Editor of the Month", "Featured" and "Templates Guru". To do this, <u>we will create the groups</u> "montheditor", "featured" and "templates":(source )</blockquote> <p>and </p><p></p><blockquote>This is a list of all built-in groups for reference if you want to change the text or avoid accidentally picking an already used name for a custom group(source )</blockquote>

<p>Those tags aren't real, functional groups with any privileges. They are purely cosmetic. RansomTime is saying you can't create or edit real user groups in the MediaWiki system. </p><p>You can create and give out arbitrary tags with that script, but they have no real meaning to the wiki. </p>

<p>That's what I figured, and that's fine with me.  I just want to have a little more than default.  I still think the tutorial should mention th fact that they are only cosmetic groups/display titles, and have no real effect on the wiki. </p><p>
</p><p>I still don't know how to create the groups/usertags.  Do I put them each in to a seperate file with the group's name, or do they go in to some other file as if it was a css file? </p>

<p>If the documentation is incorrect or unclear, it's a wiki! You can edit it and make it clear 😉 </p><p>You add the settings in your Common.js, anywhere <i>above</i> the importArticles you added for the User Tags script. </p><p>What I would do is copy the entire example configuration to your wiki, and then edit that, commenting-out any settings you don't need. </p> <div dir="ltr" class="mw-geshi mw-content-ltr"><div class="javascript source-javascript">

</div></div> <p>—from UserTags </p><p>…all of that should precede importArticles({type:'script', article:'w:c:dev:UserTags/code.js'});. </p><p>You'll notice at the top of the example that it first defines what the custom tag names are. So, it creates a muckraker tag which will display as "Muckraker," a mini-sysop tag that displays as "Half Administrator" and will link to Project:HalfAdmins, etc. It's important to note that tags should be one word (no spaces) and if they are hyphenated, they must be in quotes ('mini-sysop' not just mini-sysop). The "display name" can have spaces (and other special characters). </p><p>In the next section, tags are actually assigned to users. So, John Doe is given the muckraker tag and the hello tag. </p><p>The rest should be pretty clear based on the comments in the code. </p>
