Hi Fabian,
the IRC log is really hard to read on a webbrowser/mobile devices because there are somehow no newlines ...
I'm going to copy here our wikicaretakers team. I'm guessing you mean the IRC log related to the Husting of the Fellowship representatives?
I don't know if it's possible, but maybe there are some ways in which it can be formatted in the wiki to make it more accessible.

Assuming you are talking about https://wiki.fsfe.org/Activities/Election/FellowshipElection_2017#Log
I have run this through a sed script to reformat it as definition list, which should look much better. I think it was right of the original author to put this as code block, and it is correct behaviour of the automatic formatter to not insert automatic line breaks in code. Since I am not aware of any standard format for chat logs, and since we are rarely putting logs like that on the wiki, I do not think it will be worthwile to write an automatic wiki parser for chat logs.
I hope the formatting of the current page will serve as an example for authors who want to insert chat logs in the future.
Thanks,
looks much better indeed! Any chance to see your sed script?
regards, Fabian
