I certainly agree - including the wiki's name above the navbar is quite redundant - but I'd only thought about removing it, not about replacing it with a slogan/catchphrase. That's an interesting idea, to be sure.

I'm even more so on your side about the "on the wiki" button, which I make use of frequently as it is, and appreciate its place at the forefront as a logged-in user. It does seem equally weird that "Contribute" is replaced by "add page," losing other direct commands like "add a photo" (which I use often"), "add a video," and "edit wiki navigation." I'm not a fan of losing "Contribute" at all.

In terms of visual/aesthetic looks, I'm a little on the fence. I'd want some robust CSS customization allowance, at the very least - if not, I'm not entirely sure. However, I was quite taken about at the article's point that many users don't use the local navigation/navbar to navigate the site, so if they're right and that is the case then I'm not against the visual highlighting of the header if they believe that'll...help.

Edit: It's occured to me that the solid, separate header color could be a problem for some wikis' wordmarks...
