Nowhere have I seen that this would happen automatically just be looking at an article. That would be silly as you rightly noted.
Oh, ok. I misread Timwi's initial post about this. I thought the marking was triggered automatically whenever someone followed a link from recent changes. It would be easier than having to follow an additional link, but I suppose having it this way does prevent the issues of looking at changes without wanting to approve them. Maybe that could be an extra option in preferences - "approve every page I access from recent changes".
It would be really helpful if checked edits would influence my watchlist rather than just recent changes.
