Thanks for your thoughtful post. The links on the "On the wiki" nav, especially the random page and wiki activity, have continual been top clicked links on the skin. In order to improve the design of the nav and keep them in an easy to access place, we decided to create that tab. Since this will be uniform across the site - it helps users who move from wiki to wiki to access these links quickly and easily. That said - we are still closely watching user interaction here - and there will likely be tweaks in the future. We are collecting, reading and filing all user feedback related to all aspects of this feature - so thanks for sharing. As for the touch screen - that is one area we are working on - along with improvements to the dropdowns & the mobile skin.
