Well, as long as it works for your wiki, I guess it is all good. I managed to make it on a wiki that had not yet established clear guidelines by the time it started getting busy. So based on my experience, I guess I just don't see all these pre-made rules as necessary. That said, in restrospect, there are some areas where it would have helped a bit. For instance, if we had a standard naming system from the start, I wouldn't now be stuck going through and renaming hundreds of images on my own.

No. Even though the talk and content namespaces are meant to accompany each other, the pages are still considered separate pages and must be followed individually. Therefore, it is possible for a user to watch one but not the other.

Yes, you are correct about what DPLforum is typically used for. The distinction you are going for (talk pages for administrative tasks, DPLforum for general/viewer discussion) makes sense.
