            Bug ID: 63789
           Summary: Flow: anonymous users don't see any replies to a
                    hidden comment
           Product: MediaWiki extensions

If a top-level comment is hidden, an anonymous user doesn't see any of the
replies to it.  This is really confusing when there's only one top-level
comment: the entire topic appears empty to anonymous users with no indication
why, despite "4 comments" (see URL in bug).

To reproduce, start a new topic with one top-level comment, make tons of
replies to it, then hide it.

This is similar to bug 63657.

One part of the fix: If some of the posts under a topic aren't visible to the
current user, change the flow-topic-comments to "4* comments" with an asterisk
and give it a title tooltip saying "4 comments, some not shown". I'll file a
separate bug.
