Well, the idea isn't to create talk pages for every wiki page. It
would just be to create a link, which when clicked on for the first
time would permit the user to create a page in the usual way. Unless
we have an objection in general to using talk pages on the help wiki
(I don't have one in principle) then I don't think there should be a
problem with adding the link. Or do you think it would be better to
avoid talk pages completely? If so, do you have any other feedback
mechanisms  in mind?

Yes, we could adapt that. Or use a theme like the start.ubuntu.com one
I was working on recently. Either way, I think we need a common theme
for all parts of help.ubuntu.com.
