By default, a database query is made to fetch all field values for the specific object. If you only require access to custom methods or other non-field attributes on the specific object, you can use ``deferred=True`` to avoid this query. However, any attempts to access specific field values from the returned object will trigger additional database queries. By default, references to all non-field attribute values are copied from current object to the returned one. This includes: * Values set by a queryset, for example: annotations, or values set as a result of using ``select_related()`` or ``prefetch_related()``. * Any ``cached_property`` values that have been evaluated. * Attributes set elsewhere in Python code. For fine-grained control over which non-field values are copied to the returned object, you can use ``copy_attrs`` to specify a complete list of attribute names to include. Alternatively, you can use ``copy_attrs_exclude`` to specify a list of attribute names to exclude. If called on an object that is already an instance of the most specific class, the object will be returned as is, and no database queries or other operations will be triggered. If the object was originally created using a model that has since been removed from the codebase, an instance of the base class will be returned (without any custom field values or other functionality present on the original class). Usually, deleting these objects is the best course of action, but there is currently no safe way for Wagtail to do that at migration time.
