"referral" in this context means referring a user to the wiki via a specialized
signup link, such as
http://example.com/w/index.php?title=Special:UserLogin&type=signup&referral=Foo.
If the referred user signs up via this link, the referrer (User:Foo, in this
example) may be awarded some points as a reward (if set so in the site
configuration); the amount of points is specified in
$wgUserStatsPointValues['referral_complete'].

For the referral stuff to work properly, you need at least one separate
extension, [[mw:Extension:NewSignupPage]] (based on the old LoginReg extension)
to add the hidden referral field to the signup form.
In order to generate and mail out these specialized signup links, you should
use the InviteContacts extension (see [[mw:Special:Code/MediaWiki/84110]]), but
admittedly that extension is (still) a work-in-progress.
