Stupid question: since this filtering is done by the user, is it perhaps better
to gather the list of all moves, then do a filter for moves where the
new/target namespace is mismatched on the client side, rather than in SQL?
Since nothing would prevent users without JS from viewing the list, that seems
like a nice to have feature.
