Surely it would take two: *fetch current page's contents, view count, restrictions, and last edited date *check existence, size/type of all linked pages

Add a third one: we need to know if the user has read his Talk page since it was last modified.

For the second one, don't we just need to check the existance and type of the linked pages? Why bother about the size?

We do also need to get the size of the primary page.

What do the "restrictions" on a page consist of? Whether it is readable or editable?

Still, that is a 2/3 savings.
