 Wikipedia talk:Simple talk - Simple English Wikipedia
I would not call it questions because it is also for remarks, proposals, etc. Avoiding the usual metaphor, because a metaphor is not really simple, I like Simple talk; the only possible confusion is with Simple/Talk, when we have an article called Simple, but that is not so serious.

If the "simple English" wikipedia is to live up to its "simple" name then a good name for a "village pump" would be "The place for talking it over", or the "Talking_it_over" page, simple, descriptive, easily grasped (although somewhat plain, of course, but along the lines of BASIC English).
