Inconsistent row counts may be caused by missing foreign key values or a
foreign key field incorrectly set to :attr:`null=False
<django.db.models.Field.null>`. If you have a record with a
:class:`~django.db.models.ForeignKey` pointing to a non-existent object and
that foreign key is included is
:attr:`~django.contrib.admin.ModelAdmin.list_display`, the record will not be
shown in the admin changelist because the Django model is declaring an
integrity constraint that is not implemented at the database level.
