Halo, I'm one of guys from WMHK
As somebody living near Mainland China, I think such thing is worth
trying......
but however, I think we need to consider a few more steps to cope with the
counter-measurement by the GFW authority....
because break through the blockage via blogs is not uncommon, many bloggers
use this way in this year's President election of R. of China (Taiwan). I'm
not sure this may brought any legal responsibilities to the blog hosting
services company. But I think it's better for us to check it out
first........

There's already several MediaWiki extensions that do this exactly.
1)
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:EmailArticle
2)
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ShareThis
Both come to mind off the top of my head. It's just a matter of getting
local community approval and filing the request in Bugzilla for a sysadmin
to activate the extension for you.

Hello,
This is a forwarded suggestion from a user in China, who preferred to
remain anonymous.
Wikipedia could be promoted in China by placing a promotion toolbar at
the bottom of articles, with links like "Copy to clipboard", "blog
it", or "email it". This visual cue would actively remind the visitor
further disseminate the Wikipedia content he's seen to his friends,
via his blog (one-to-many outlet) or email (one-to-one outlet).
