- I got a page exported but could not import because I need to create a
"sysop" group user to import. But, it seems that I could not figure out how to create this "sysop" group" and an user in that group. Can
somebody
waste a little time to help a new comer?
The account you created when you first installed Mediawiki should be a sysop.
mmm... I created "wikiuser" when went through the mediawiki setup. But I
can get in to my wiki without loging in. So I am not clear how that id is used.
When I got the error message saying that I don't have the "sysop"
permisiion to import, I created another account to login wiki. But I just could not find how to set it to "sysop" group! This is where I stuck. Please help.

- Eventhough I know that there are two camps of user IDs (one for wiki
usage and one for mysql). I still get confused when reading the
reference
documentation. It seems that people take it for granted assuming everybody is able to distinguish which camp of user IDs they are talking about.
The documentation isn't great in places, you're right. I think the mysql account details are only needed in one place in localsettings.php (and maybe in adminsettings.php). Anything else talking about accounts is most likely talking about mediawiki accounts.
- Is there a good mediawiki book that I can find examples for basic
(e.g.
creating a page, edit a page, setting directory & files permissions, how to incorporate an extension...) operations? Of course if there is a comprehensive list of mediawiki commands (I mean .php files) and their usages will be even better.
Not that I know of. Most of the documentation is either on mediawiki.org or meta.wikimedia.org.
