The MiniInvite extension adds two new special pages, Special:InviteEmail and Special:EmailNewArticle, for sending out invitation emails to your friends.

When used together with the SocialProfile and NewSignupPage extensions, it is possible to gain points by referring friends to the site via links generated by this extension.

Configuration parameters

Parameter name	Default value	Description
$wgEmailFrom	$wgPasswordSender	The email address where invite emails are sent out from
$wgSendNewArticleToFriends	false	When set to true, after a user has created a page in the blog category (see Extension:BlogPage ), they are redirected to Special:EmailNewArticle, prompting them to email their friends about the newly-created blog article. This likely doesn't work properly at the moment! See gerrit:166584 for further details.
