You're right, it should not be a "complaint" link but rather a
"help"
link.
And it should send both to the relevant mailing-lists and irc channels.

I would not call it a 'complaint link' since I (and I imagine many
others)
don't want to encourage complaints, per se. We can, however,
largely fix the
apparent-lack-of-feedback-mechanism issue *right now* by editing
[[MediaWiki:Help]] to read 'Help / Contact us' instead of just
'Help'. I've
already made some small changes the the English Wikipedia's
[[help:Contents]]
page to make this hack work (ideally 'Help' and 'Contact us' would
each link to
their own pages, but that is not possible).
See
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Contents and
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_talk:Help (where I've
already said I
will do this in two days).
That should tide us over until/if we get the generic footer message
MediaWiki
page I was talking about in my last email (where multiple links and/
or messages
could be displayed - not unlike [[MediaWiki:Sitenotice]], except
most of the
links would be there all the time).
