Hi there,
Is it possible to have an automatic first post on each new topic? I’m hoping to have one that explains and links to the commenting policy.

There’s no built-in feature for this, and we don’t currently have one planned — but it would be possible in a plugin.
An alternative that does exist are the new user education messages (they appear in the composer like this)
You can edit the text for these in admin \> customize \> text content (search for education)
You can also edit how long they appear for new users in admin \> settings, the setting is called `educate until posts` and defaults to 2.
You could potentially raise that value to be high enough that people will see the education messages for a very long time… but I imagine they’ll learn to ignore them as a form of [banner blindness](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banner_blindness)?

We recently had a plugin developed which does what you’re asking for. Although the specs changed (forget the complicated graphic and buttons, we just automated it), here was my original post:

> What would you like done? Add a button to “topic admin actions” which inserts a wiki post as the first post in the topic, even if there are already existing posts in the topic. If possible, populate the wiki from one of a few templates; however if this adds much complication or cost, we can edit the newly-created wiki post and paste the template. Our use case is to summarize long topics. As discussed [here](https://meta.discourse.org/t/summarize-this-topic-write-a-summary-for-this-topic/25460), the Discourse team favors automated approaches to summaries, but we’re willing to manua…
If you post in #Marketplace , the author can probably adapt it to your needs.
