Description
This is based on leunga1000's PR. The ModelAdmin.changelist_view's handling of IncorrectLookupParameters presents a page title of "Database error" for the particular exception of IncorrectLookupParameters. Since the user is already past authentication and authorization, we should give them more information that the querystring had an error. I would suggest "Incorrect lookup" or "Incorrect lookup in query string" depending on how technical we want to get.
I agree with leunga1000's assessment that this message is a bit cryptic and think we should make a change.

Seems valid issue. The error message should be improved. I am taking it.
