            Bug ID: 48124
           Summary: Notifications: Mark messages as read after any visit
                    to the talk page
           Product: MediaWiki extensions

Anytime a user visits their own talk page, all their message notifications
should be 'marked as read' in the flyout and archive. 

This issue was reported by Risker and other users, who point out that visiting
their talk page doesn't clear notifications in the red badge, as described on
the Notifications talk page:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Notifications#Cannot_reset_number_by_going_to_page

Note that this problem could be exacerbated if we provide a secondary path to
talk, such as the New Message Indicator feature discussed here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notifications/New_message_indicator

So we would need to fix this issue first, before we can deploy a new message
indicator or OBOM, that provide a secondary path to talk.

To clarify the proposed logic, a talk message would be 'marked as read' if:
a) user visits their talk page
b) user clicks on the red badge
   (if flyout includes that message)
c) user clicks on 'Mark all as read'
   (if flyout does not include that message)
d) user visits the archive page
   (and clicks 'More' to show that message, if not visible)
