I dont think all would be appropriate, but im fine with specific ones if someone is watching them (especially extensions). The biggest concern is individual talk pages might go unnoticed.

If the question is unnoticed, then how do we direct those users...?

Could we have a message at the top of talk pages that points users to the Support desk if their question isn't answered there?

You've just reinvented Template:Not a support forum, with weaker wording.

I don't see why we need to relax things across the whole wiki. If an individual extension's maintainers want to use the extension's talk page as their support channel, that's their choice.

I agree with @Dinoguy1000. Not sure there's a need for a general change, but extension maintainers are already welcome to invite support requests there if they wish.

I think it's more natural to ask questions about a particular feature alongside that feature's page, but can see how some things might slip through the cracks.
