I think you’d need to create a [custom theme](https://meta.discourse.org/t/developer-s-guide-to-discourse-themes/93648). As an alternative, you could use a topic template (Edit category → Topic template):

Also take a look at this theme component: [Topic Template Placeholder Text theme component](https://meta.discourse.org/t/topic-template-placeholder-text-theme-component/149053)
