Proposal, based on the feedback here so far: because code-review questions have special rules, create a category.  This allows (and we would need proposed text from the community for):

- Category description: that short text at the top of the posts list; can contain links.

- Posting guidance: you know that text you see about the first textbox when you click on "ask question"?  That text can be fully customized.  Summarize the rules for code-review posts (like that the code must already work).  If it requires more explanation than fits reasonably in that block, summarize there and add a help topic.

- (Optional) help topic, per the previous bullet.  Or not.

- (Optional) any changes/additions to close reasons that you need to support this.  We can't do per-category close reasons, but we can include the scope in the reasons at least.
