Just deployed on Write.as, and seems to be running smoothly. The real test will be tonight through tomorrow morning, when we see our normal influx of traffic.

This is more important on Write.as now, especially with replica MySQL databases that have become increasingly laggy.

@heyakyra Yep, we can do that. Was thinking that might be a future task and we would hard-code the term for now, but we can probably make it customizable out of the gate.

As suggested on the forum, we should also add an API endpoint for this.

With over 5,000 photos migrated, this feature will be necessary.
