Welcome to Codidact Meta!
Codidact Meta is the meta-discussion site for the Codidact community network and the Codidact software. Whether you have bug reports or feature requests, support questions or rule discussions that touch the whole network – this is the site for you.
Should we directly link to the proposals site for new proposals in the Help Center?
On the Help Center page "How to ask a great question" (This link points to the Codidact Meta version, but this question talks about all the versions of this page in all other communities, too)
Under the subheading "Make sure your question is in scope"
Second paragraph.
If your question isn't in scope for this site, you can check out our list of communities to see if another site fits your needs. If what you're looking for isn't there, you can always propose a new site on Codidact Meta.
Notice the last line. It says that users may propose a new site on Codidact Meta. The link points to the "Q&A" category.
Even the "Site Proposals" category of Meta says
Please use our new proposals site instead of posting here. Proposals already here are invited to migrate. Thanks!
According to my opinion, if the final destination is the proposals site, then why not just directly link to it in the Help Center docs?

Thanks for the report. I've updated this topic to link to How to propose a new community, which describes the process instead of just dropping the person on the Proposals site.
Admins have an option when editing help to push the change to all sites (that haven't locally edited the topic). I chose that option, but it doesn't seem to have taken. I'm investigating this, but for now, the change isn't on all communities and that's a known problem.
Update: the change has now been made on all communities, with some extra adjustment for that help topic on the Proposals site.
