 * The old wiki navigation rail (usually?) defaults to first showing the link to the Wiki Activity, which you seem to have for whatever reason deemed 'unimportant' and 'confusing to new readers' (implying new readers are easily confused by a very simple concept, because I guess humans are incapable of using their brains in this day and age?)

Yes, in fact, new readers have absolutely no use of Wiki Activity. Nothing in there, except maybe "Random page", is useful to a newcomer to a wiki. What they're interested in is the content that we add to the other sections in the navigation.

This is already in place right now. If you log out, or go into incognito/private browsing on your wiki, you'll likely see Wiki Activity pushed to the end of the navigation. It's because readers don't need that. Only the editors do.
