Issue body

Users occasionally open issues by mistake, such as issues with just a URL in the title (e.g., `https://github.com/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome.git`) or issues with placeholder text that wasn't filled out (e.g., "TYPE YOUR QUESTION HERE"). ## Changes Added `.github/workflows/close-mistake-issues.yaml` that: - Triggers on issue open events - Detects mistake patterns: - Title is a standalone URL - Title contains `.git` with body < 20 chars - Title contains placeholder text (like "TYPE YOUR QUESTION HERE", "TYPE YOUR ISSUE HERE", etc.) with unfilled template body - Auto-closes detected issues with comment: "Appears to have been opened by mistake."
