I think adding a simple sentence in https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:New_filters_for_edit_review/Filtering would be enough, something like:

It is possible to filter by namespace by clicking on [icon]. You can also use the : shortcut to access the namespaces list. Use namespaces filters works the same way as other filters.

Same thing for T167740: Write help documentation for Tagged Edits filtering of Recent Changes. .
