AO3-5578: Migrate from Paperclip to Active Storage

AO3-6232: Include IP address, referrer URL, and title of public site skin in support tickets

AO3-6622: Decrease margins on definition lists in FAQs

Done

These issues have been resolved and deployed 🎉

AO3-2380: Autocomplete tag suggestions should not rely on user input matching the tag's diacritics, e.g. A should return results for  and vice versa

AO3-4313: Chapter by Chapter mode gives 500 error when a work's chapters are reordered to make a draft chapter the first chapter

AO3-4728: Deleting a subscribable object doesn't always destroy its associations, causing subscription pages to throw an Error 500
More info: We had a pull requested workaround that added a rescue to the index and attempts to troubleshoot a user's subscriptions if the page errors, but we'd really prefer to fix the root of the problem.

AO3-4932: Removing a work's fandom and pressing Cancel on the error page saves the work without a fandom
More info: This is blocking the issue for limiting how many tags a work can have.

AO3-5316: Success message not being shown after account activation
More info: This is affecting the workloads of Support and Translation, so it would be great to get this done as soon as possible.

More info: This causes extra work for Support, who have to correct the Language info on mislabeled works.

AO3-5357: Related Works page includes listings for works in anonymous and unrevealed collections
More info: If an anonymous or unrevealed work has translations or remixes, the work will be listed on its creator's Related Works page, breaking anonymity.

AO3-5497: Add URL parameter to bypass TOS prompt
More info: This will require some coordination with Systems and Docs to deploy, but it's something we'd like to do in the near future. The code change itself should be fairly low difficulty.

AO3-5601: Use download writer to create HTML files included in deleted work emails

AO3-5986: Create an "official" role for user accounts to make them distinguishable in comments

AO3-6000: Rename fields on guest comment form to reduce chances of browser autofilling non-fannish names

AO3-6153: Limit the number of tags that can be used on works

AO3-6165: If a guest comment's email is on the banned list, do not send comment reply notifications

AO3-6156: Allow admins to edit user profiles
