Maybe my answer will provoke a better one, which would be a good thing,
but...

For non-admin pages you can tailor the labeling to whatever you want
your users to see; for admin you might want to show that more compactly
and efficiently.

How about making model labels which are shorter? Typically I use
something with a dozen characters or (much) less, and then put hints
about how to use it or other details into the help field. So "Trueskill
Initial Standard Deviation (phi0)" might be as simple (and
uninteresting) as "stddev" and the help might be "Enter an initial
standard deviation".
