I don't understand the Wiki. It says 2 changes. I click on it, and it doesn't show me the 2 changes. Recent changes shows MGB moved my comment to Talk, which does not appear in the index. How are you supposed to navigate this thing, or find out what people are talking about in it?

This wiki is designed to be browsed mostly through either the main index page or the search on the left.

To see what people are talking about, recent changes is about it. Navagation is a pain in the ass, I know. I don't do wikis much myself, other than this one, because it is annoying to browse, but it does let a bunch of knowledgable people throw up useful information in one place. So, its there.

If you want to browse around, the QuickLinks on the index of the Wiki is a good starting point. Or the Categories page, as every page is in a category. Or my favorite way, the Random Page like just to find out random information.

Yes, but if I make a post (like I did) and someone replies, how will I ever know? I should work more like a forum.

You look at the recent changes. You can also put the page on your watchlist, which you can get to through a link on the upper-right.

I find the UI stracture of "wiki portal" in general quite easy to handle.

Quite easily, Recent Changes and Special Pages are two of the hotlinks you would want to visit to see what really changed if you can't find it otherwise.

Beyond that, if things might seem 'out of place', checking the history of the page in question is advised.
