Public Sticky notes

That's why context is more important than consistency. It's ok to be inconsistent if your design makes more sense that way. Give people just what matters. Give them what they need when they need it and get rid of what they don't. It's better to be right than to be consistent.

Adding superfluous nav elements, just because they're consistent with the rest of the site, is just silly.
