Bug ID: 55650
Summary: users may see zombie "You have a new message" orange
bar after Flow occupation
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: master
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Flow
Assignee: [email protected]

Mobile Platform: ---
Someone added some wiki text to a user talk page on my wiki. I converted my
wiki to occupy user talk pages; I had not followed the emerging "best practice"
of moving existing User_talk content to subpages such as
User_talk:<USER>/Archive. A few days later I logged in as that user (user
Admin, but I think this scenario applies to any user).
Pages displayed a "You have a _new message_ (_last change_)." orange bar. But
the links in it (to
http://localhost/wiki/index.php?title=User_talk:Admin&redirect=no and
http://localhost/wiki/index.php?title=User_talk:Admin&diff=cur didn't show me
the message, because all such links show the Flow board. One way to see the
message is to use Special:Export/User_talk:<USER>, since that (currently)
continues to access the wiki page contents after Flow occupies.
I don't know if Echo and notifications are configured differently on my wiki
than on WMF wikis, but this seems worth investigating, and to consider when
turning on Flow in user talk pages.
