Hi there. If I was doing the work, this is what I would do. Create a temporary new template and module called it-noun2 (taking the new, improved format). Bot-modify all the Italian nouns to use the new version - doing the easy ones first. When they are all converted and nothing is using the current version, overwrite it with the new version and bot replace all occurrences of it-noun2 with it-noun. Check everything, Throw away it redundant it-noun2. Using this scheme means that our users never see a broken entry. But you must do what you think is best. Cheers.

p.s. My preferred format would be "it-noun|1|2|f=|m=|head=", where 1=gender, 2=plural, f=feminine form if masculine, m=masculine form if feminine, head=replacement headword (for wikilinks). Only the gender would be obligatory (maybe not even that).
