Is there a query to bulk move many topics from one category to another? I want to consolidate many categories into one category and would like to make the move quickly and all at once, and also not bump the topics.

Bonus: also want to tag topics first with a category-equivalent tag before moving them.

Grateful for any queries or recipes. Many thanks! I’d even write it up as a #howto topic if it’s good. 🙂
