I have been writing a script, driven by a YAML file, for rearranging a Discourse site. This is because I’m planning a pretty massive rearrangement of my largest site to make it easier to navigate, and I’ll never go through with it if I try to drive it through the UI. My script has zero unit tests, …

I have no idea what “site rearrangement” means. Maybe post pieces in Administrative Bulk Operations ?
