Changing the format of all the mastheads would mean either the user has to change their information to force it to fit the new format on that one wiki which also means it will not necessarily fit the standardized format used on virtually every other wiki… or *not* change to fit the new format because it would not fit every other wiki.

Keep in mind that a User's Masthead is the same on virtually every wiki. As it is, users who tailor their messages to one franchise can look out of place when viewed from the wikis of other franchises and topics. Having to make their words conform to one radical format will make them appear *very* out of place elsewhere.

For example, *I* would not alter my masthead info to fit just one wiki. Taking a look at mine and you'll see the mess it would be in the above exampled format. Of course, I don't know what you have in mind for your wiki, but you may wish to consider this carefully. I don't think I'll do changes that will force the users to change their information.

This is what I have on mind:
 * I live in ->  $1 (not changing it)
 * Born on --> $1 (not changing it)
 * My Occupation is --> being in showbiz and $1 (changing it)
 * I am a --> $1 (not changing it)
