Extension:SocialProfile/en

The SocialProfile extension incorporates a social profile, user board, and basic profile info into MediaWiki, specifically avatars, befriending, foeing, user board, board blast, user levels rank system, awards and gifts. The package also notifies users via email when other users request them as a friend or foe and/or sends them a message.

For example, when using S3, you need to explicitly set the backend to S3, the privacy of the file to public, and the file path for avatars:
