As I understand this feature request, it’s basically merging the functionality of the [discourse-reply-template-component](https://github.com/discourse/discourse-reply-template-component) theme component that @riking mentioned above, with the “automatically filled editor” per-category feature of Topic Templates that @codinghorror mentions. I agree that there are many cases where you want to standardize reply format, and if these two concepts could fuse together somehow, then I think the use case will be realized.
