Sadly...I don't feel like I know SQL and the Mediawiki database schema well enough to take that approach just yet.
If the is a maintinence script that will straighten this out...i would like to know.

Do you recommend that I try the "maintenance/namespaceDupes.php" script and see?

continued thanks,

Seems a simple UPDATE SET *_namespace = New_NS_Number WHERE *_namespace 
= Old_NS_Number;  for every table and field ending in _namespace

There's maintenance/namespaceDupes.php but i don't know if it would 
handle the pages in inexistent namespaces in the desired way.
