Is there a way to specify that a topic should be unlisted on creation?

Otherwise, if somebody subscribes to a category, they get a notification, even if I quickly unlist a topic after creation.

If not, what’s a workaround? Create a topic in Staff, make it unlisted, then move it to the target category?
