In light of the [new vertical timeline](https://meta.discourse.org/t/change-right-gutter-to-vertical-timeline-topic-controls/44096), I think we should re-consider this. It’s even in the spec’s mockup:

Right now we’re occupying that space with the admin’s topic wrench, but I think the tracking button is more important. In fact, I’d say there’s still room for both. And when the sidebar is collapsed, the wrench can be moved down into the paging-widget.
