We have had problems with such scripts editing too many pages at once and causeing performance issues.

This may be an idea that we can revisit if/when we have a more robust database engine underlying the wiki. As it is, running batch scripts on wiki articles has a teriffic performance cost.
It's been on the tech wishlist for ages.

Couldn't you just ask someone to volunteer for making them instead of putting the concern in a personal backlog? I'm sure there's plenty of people who'd be willing to do this for free somewhere on the net.

I think this topic can be retired as the namespace migration nears its end. If there is still need for it, ask in Query Wishlist.

Shouldn't it be possible to create a batch script to correct all wrong name spaces for a work page. Or would that be too dangerous?
