I think we might have a decent solution. It’s not exactly what you are asking for, but I’m hoping it’s close enough. See what you think:

1. 
  - Open the category settings for #wishlist and click on the “ **Topic Template** ” tab. Add a short notice like `PLEASE SEARCH FOR SIMILAR TOPICS BEFORE POSTING` and save the change

  - Next go to `/admin/logs/watched_words/action/block` and add the same short notice to the list of blocked words. It should look like this:

  - With this setup, all users will have the text `PLEASE SEARCH FOR SIMILAR TOPICS BEFORE POSTING` automatically inserted into their composer when trying to create a topic in #wishlist. Thanks to the blocked words feature, the post will not go through unless the user has deleted that text. They will see a notification like this until they remove the text:

2. There is a site setting called `limit_suggested_to_category` which should restrict the similar topics to the category in which the post is being created. Currently there is no category-level option to specify which categories should be included in the similar topics list.
