«''Wiki Activity isn't a tool that logged out readers utilize, since it's mainly a tool for logged in editors, so we moved it to the right. That way, the most important links for all visitors can be on the left. Logged in editors can access Wiki Activity using the button TK-999 referenced, in the Explore menu, and—if they so choose—on their toolbar.''»

I don't understand this. If there was a button to Special:WikiActivity where it used to be, in the right rail, it would be easier (this seems to be a general opinion) to click there to go to Special:WikiActivity, rather than scrolling all the way up to it (and, by the way, seems a bit redundant to have two of them near to each other). This way, the button would be more on the level of the page content, so it was easier to click on it when you're reading the content of a page (which is what you're probably doing, when searching a wiki, I'd say). Now, for the points you pointed: - This would still keep the button on the right. - Logged in editors (the ones you're saying would use it more often) still have it there, more on the level of the page content. As for having it on the right or the left of the top bar, it doesn't matter to me. I just don't get why it was removed from the rail. I think you guys claimed it was redundant to have it there, when it was on the top bar. But now you have two on the top bar.
