We should definitely link prominently to talk pages on something like this, yes. *makes note*
There is an open chat for Fanlore, though it's not embedded. We could put up a link. However, I don't think it's feasible to have experienced editors staffing it 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We don't really have the peoplepower for that. On the other hand, it would be fairly easy to set up a system where people left a comment when they were going into the chat or planning to be there, so newbies could see it. That could just be a subheading on the talk page of the project.
For tutorials, I think some brainstorming with a crew would be good. I've written things like that, but in very different contexts, so I'm not sure those formats apply.
For red link -> blue link joy, that's why I created the "List of" pages. They provide an easy place to put a bunch of obvious red links (and some existing blue links for reference) and provide an obvious starting point for new editors. If you can think of any other "List of" pages you'd like, we can make them!
The people working in doujin fandom right now all seem to be into doujinshi, so that's where the focus is at the moment. We could definitely add that to the wishlist. It might even become its own project if it becomes popular.
Glossary terms are shared by nature, though we can encourage users to add certain terms and to add them to specific categories. Or did you mean helping new editors by providing definitions of certain terms?
