Waddington wrote that page administrators can add a groups module to the favorites area at the top of their pages, but nothing generally happens when it is clicked. However, he discovered an unfinished groups page for craft tutorial community Cut Out + Keep, which he co-founded with his fiancé, Cat Morley.
Waddington offered detailed instructions on how page admins can create groups for their pages, noting that in order to perform many of the tasks, they must be using Facebook as their pages, rather than themselves:
Using a page access token, you can post to /me/groups with a name parameter set to your new group name.
This returns your new group ID.
