Screenshot of problem.

There is currently no distinction between different pages titles, the interface
message and the user name. They all blend together.

In the attached screenshot "Spence, Streber, Williams" could've been 1, 2 or 3
page names. No way of telling (since it also doesn't separate the last with
'and' it is even harder).

I'd recommend:

* Link each page name
  > Better visual distinction
  > Added feature of going directly to these pages

* Link user name
  > Visual distinction between username and interface text
  > Added ability to directly find out more about the user (user page, talk,
    other contributions etc.

Also, perhaps improve the list join algorithm to adjoin the last two words with
", and" instead of just ", ".

So it'll be like Spence, Streber, and Williams.
