I would like to propose that **a category should be possible to set such that questions are closed by default** (with a specific, selectable close reason that applies to all questions posted to that category) **immediately when they are posted.**- One major use case for this would be something like a [question sandbox](https://meta.codidact.com/a/41993/278605), where questions can be posted and refined *as questions*, and once they have been, they can be moved to where they actually belong and opened for answers.
- Historically and in Some Other places, this has been done by having a specific Meta question where proposed questions are posted as answers, which then need to be copied manually to the main Q&A area once they have been refined. Having a feature like this would improve the workflow and, among other things, allow preserving the edit history of the question.

Categories should support a "closed by default" question setting
