Hey!

We’re in the process of switching our use of [User Portfolio](https://meta.discourse.org/t/user-portfolio/156678) from category based to tag-based, to give our users more control over which work is showcased. To make this a smooth transition, we’d like to add the #portfolio tag to all posts in our artwork categories. This touches on a LOT of topics, so I’d need a way to automate this can someone point me in the right direction?

Some additional information:

- This tag is currently not in use.
- We’ll be increasing the maximum number of tags per topic from 5 to 6 before running this script, so we won’t have to drop any existing topic tags.

Thanks!
