Conditional syntax for passwords is not recommended.

If you want to have all talk pages with different permissions from their 
content pages, you need to place them in different wikigroups:

   Main.HomePage:
   -> Talk-Main.HomePage   OR
   -> Main-Talk.HomePage

   MyGroup.Page:
   -> Talk-MyGroup.Page

The first one, with a Talk-* prefix, will probably need less markup to 
cross-link.

In a GroupFooter, you can have something like this:

In Main.GroupFooter:
[[ Talk-{*$FullName} | Discuss this page]]

In Talk-Main.GroupFooter:
[[ Main.{*$Name} | Back to content page]] OR
[[ {(substr {*$FullName} 5)} | Back to content page]]

Possibly in Site.PageActions, or if you have something like 
Site.AllGroupHeader (see cookbook) or AllGroupFooter:

(:if group Talk-*:)
* [[ {(substr {*$FullName} 5)} | Back to content page]]
(:else:)
* [[ Talk-{*$FullName} | Discuss this page]]
(:ifend:)


Then you set the passwords for the talk groups like explained in 
PmWiki/Passwords, that is in

   Talk-MyGroup.GroupAttributes?action=attr

If you want to leave them open, use @nopass in the form. It may be 
better to have an "open" password to prevent spambots, I use a variant 
of the solution posted here:
