I agree with Roan regarding the cases from comment 5. Although I note that a
"mark unread" feature in core might well use the API via ajax to do the
marking, like the watch/unwatch tab does now.
To add to case 2, personally I want to be able to add a "seen" button to the
watchlist lines. But I'm concerned that I might load my watchlist, spend 20
minutes reading changes to other pages, and then click "seen" on a page and
lose notification of the edits to that page made during the 20 minutes I was
doing other stuff. This is the reason I never use the existing "Mark all pages
visited" button on the watchlist. So I'd ideally code my "seen" button to say
"set wl_notificationtimestamp to just after revision X".
As for setting wl_notificationtimestamp to invalid values, it appears that it's
either treated as a boolean "changed" value (e.g. for watchlist bolding) or
compared against the revision timestamp using >= (e.g. for recentchanges or
history highlighting). So as long as it's a valid timestamp it shouldn't matter
what specific time it is set to.
In gerrit change 11965, I took the approach of using the ApiPageSet module so
multiple pages can be marked at once, if desired. For convenience in my desired
use case, I allow selection of the timestamp (for a single page) by passing a
revision id so it's not necessary to do a separate query to prop=revisions just
to find the necessary timestamp.
