Description

What is the problem?

On beta, the "Read" label does not appear in the menu item.

It happens on main and Talk page namespaces, but not user, user_talk or file (I didn't try any others).

This happens for Vector 2010 and 2022. The other skins don't have this (I don't think).

Steps to reproduce problem
  1. Go to any article on beta, e.g. https://en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/Conflict-title-0.26780644845179213-I%C3%B1t%C3%ABrn%C3%A2ti%C3%B4n%C3%A0liz%C3%A6ti%C3%B8n
Environment

Browser: Firefox 91 and Chromium 87.
