require_once "$IP/extensions/GroupsSidebar/GroupsSidebar.php";
- Adapt as required

System messagesEdit
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.
