Wikipedia has enormous meta community, and it's likely that such a huge amount of meta is toxic.

Minor point: flag discussion should probably be flag submission. The current flag action is more for flagging a submission not suitable for HN rather than flagging the discussion around it. Those two things are different.

Yes, that is minor but still important. Having 3 options: flag submission and flag discussion and flag title might be too much.
That's up to the admins to decide what needs more often to be managed, the submission or the discussion. Or it could be named:
flag title | flag submission/discussion
There just need to be enough watchdogs.
A very simple solution would be that titles can be flagged by the community. Example below:
Moderators would simply edit flagged bad titles. Rather than having them to watch all titles (old rules) or no titles at all (new rules).
