The format name is shown in FORMAT_LABEL. The line formatting of
"username:MD5_hash" is optional - you can as well put MD5_hash on a line
on its own. Additionally, if you do the latter and you don't pass the
--format option, John will advise you of possible --format=... options
to use (given the line's syntax).
I understand and agree that these are not valid excuses for not having
better documentation, though.

Why don't "you" (the user community, which I think is what you meant by
"we") contribute such documentation? Very few people contributed very
little stuff to the sample-hashes and sample-non-hashes page on the wiki.
You could have contributed more!

Yes, it's incomplete and slightly unreasonable.

I hope someone in the community will do that or something like it for
-jumbo. Completing/updating the wiki pages would be a good start.
I am not personally planning to work on that for the very next release.
