The boxes on the right are customizable of order. Just go to Manage 
Widgets and you have the ability to reorder the sidebar.
But I would note that unlike in Monobook the toolbar is up top instead 
of down below.
But as for those nav links... Having a Home link there isn't bad. In 
fact, most wiki stick a link to the Main Page in their sidebar, so very 
few starting people know that the logo just links back to the main 
page,  removing a Main Page link could be confusing. As for Create a new 
article, that is something that also confuses many new people, they 
don't even know that such a page exists, many active users don't even 
know that Wikia has that. Remember that the links are for everyone.
As for Recent changes, and most of the other links they're already 
inside of the new toolbox. The ones that people put in the sidebar are 
actually now redundant.
