As I commented on the OTRS ticket itself, I don't think we want to try a MediaWiki-related approach here. The developers don't seem to like it: http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=227 However, the wiki-based options discussed here are probably fine.

There's a MediaWiki extensions called "ShareThis" which adds links to post stories on Digg, Techoranti (sp?), and Slashdot, among other places. [1]
Secondly, there is also a Send2Friend extension. We could ask the devs to install it on testwiki to see what it does, and if we like it, we can install on en.wn [2]

It sure is feasible. Use the "mailto" protocol - RTFM, it's far too early for me to remember such syntax.
<a href="mailto:yourfriend@example.com?subject=Subject&body=One paragraph.%0A%0ANext paragraph.">send it!</a>
But I am not sure how to add it (i.e. what is needed level of intervention to the site's code)...

In wiki-markup it should be [mailto:yourfriend@example.com?subject=Subject&body=One%20paragraph.%0A%0ANext%20paragraph. Mail this story!] - but i'm not sure how well it will deal with the complexity of the tag.
