I'll be working on a page where people can see a list of common article issues, then it'll tell them how to fix it themselves, or if they're afraid to do that, they can click a link and they basically fill out a boilerplate reporting the issue.

Yes, I've got this terrible pain in all the diodes down my left side.
You mean with the article?

We could take the "contact us" pages as a model. The first page would present common issues and people would follow them through step by step.

That sounds right. Probably streamlined a little further, and with the added difficulty that the links should actually carry out some action, rather than just explaining what action you should carry out.
What would be necessary to write out text to a talk page? I seem to recall there is a way to enter editing mode with some default text added...would that work? Or would an extension be necessary?
