How to change the name of a group?

Use the „move“ feature in the dropdown next to the edit button. If you create a redirect (which is the default), existing group meetings will still be associated to the group. However the association could get lost when editing a meeting so you should either edit them manually or use the Replace Text extension.

How to add a field?

Create the property Property:Semorg-<feature>-<field>. You can use Special:CreateProperty (provided by the Page Forms extension). Chose the data type you want to use.
Create MediaWiki:Semorg-field-<feature>-<field>-name.
If needed create MediaWiki:Semorg-field-<feature>-<field>-parameters (or -input-type, -size, -help, -prefix, or -suffix).
If the field should be shown in the form add <field> to MediaWiki:Semorg-form-<feature>-rows.
Create a custom template. Copy Template:Semorg-<feature> to a new page in the template namespace (e.g. Template:Semorg-<feature>-custom).
In order to save the field in the database add the line |<field>={{{<field>|}}} to the call of {{#semorg-set:}}.
If the field's value should be shown in the detail table add the line |<field>={{{<field>|}}} to the call of {{#semorg-table:}}. You can add any formatting you want here.
Point Mediawiki:Semorg-<feature>-template to the newly created template.
If you already created calls to the old template, change them. You can use the Replace Text extension to quickly replace all appearances of {{semorg-<feature> with {{semorg-<feature>-custom.

How to change the appearance of a list?

see also the documentation for the {{#semorg-list:}} parser function

List have two parts:

Headers
Rows, whose contents are controlled by a template.

In most cases you need to change both of them.

	default	globally (System Messages)	single use (Function Parameters)	example value
Headers		`MediaWiki:Semorg-list-<feature>-headers`	`headers`	group-name, group-description, group-host, group-members
Row template	`Template:Semorg-<feature>-row`	`MediaWiki:Semorg-list-<feature>-row-template`	`row template`	`<feature>-custom` (translates to `Template:semorg-<feature>-custom-row`
