The global navigation at FANDOM is a bit more complicated than it seems at times. Fans have different needs from the Global Navigation depending on where they are using our products (App, Web, Desktop) and whether they are using FANDOM News & Stories or the communities, whether they are logged in or logged out, and whether they are active contributors or simply consumers of content.

The new FANDOM News & Stories was built to be mobile-first and consumption-focused. The "powered by Wikia" was removed from the Global Navigation on FANDOM News & Stories to meet those goals - this freed up space and keeps the navigation clean and mobile-friendly.

The "powered by Wikia" currently remains on the Global Navigation for the communities (wikis and discussions).

In response to "notifications" in the Global Navigation (from another comment by KurwaAntics), JustLeafy is correct in that the notifications currently have no direct placement in the Global Navigation on News & Stories. They can be accessed through the View Profile dropdown. There has been no change on the communities navigation at this time.

FANDOM continues to explore the best way to balance navigation design/spacing and display of notifications according to the various needs of the aforementioned use cases.
