following up on my own question: do this using semantic inline queries
as follows.
to move all pages in the category "collaborator" into the namespace
"collaborator" use the maintance script moveBatch:
php moveBatch.php -u tag -r new-namespace -i 1 collMoveList.txt
for which one may generate the collMoveList with the following semantic
query:
{{#ask:[[Category:Collaborator]]
|?mainlabel
|?#=
|format=template
|template=formatMovePages
|limit=5000}}
the template:formatMovePages looks like this
{{{1}}}|Collaborator:{{{1}}}<br>

need to match the start of the title and replace it with the prefix)

any help/solutions are very much appreciated!
