::That's a change made by Wikia themselves.  It's long been gone from Monobook, to the point that it can't be considered an actual "feature" of the skin anymore.  I'm talking about fixing things in Monobook that are a result of changes we've made locally to the Wikia skin.  The easiest workaround for your problem is simply to create a bookmark to [[Special:RecentChanges]] and place that bookmark in a prominent, easy-to-find place on your browser.  {{user:CzechOut/Sig}}&nbsp;<span style="{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}}">'''16:00:18 Sun&nbsp;'''12 Jun 2011&nbsp;</span>

:::Admins can change the Monobook sidebar by editing [[MediaWiki:Sidebar]]. Anyway, I restored the link to RC there. The link to WikiActivity wasn't actually put there by Wikia, but by [[User:Mini-mitch|Mini-mitch]]. By mistake, I assume, since WikiActivity doesn't actually work with Monobook.

::::Heh, serves me right for not actually clicking on the links.  I just saw Wiki Activity there and thought it, y'know, ''did'' something.  Thanks for catching that, Ausir.  Subsequently found out that half the links on that monobook sidebar didn't actually do anything, so it's now been revamped to include only working links.  And sorry for that slight bit of misinformation there, BC.  Recent Changes is gone from wikia, not monobook.  I briefly got the "Wiki Activity" button in the wikia skin linking to [[Special:RecentChanges]], but then that was deemed a TOU violation, and it was returned to the Wiki Activity page.
::::Long story short:  you can have Recent Changes in monobook, and Wiki Activity in wikia, but not the other way around.{{user:CzechOut/Sig}}&nbsp;<span style="{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}}">'''06:18:24 Tue&nbsp;'''12 Jul 2011&nbsp;</span>
