At present, using [[wikilinks]] in any sort of log (e.g., block form, user rights interface, etc., renders fine in the relevant logs. However, using a hyperlink (including diffs) render as a non-formatted, raw url, rather than the [1] (assuming no pipped text, e.g. [www.google.co.uk link] = link) which appears if inserting the hyperlink into an ordinary wiki page.

This results in both the logs being ugly, and a tedious copy-and-paste process to investigate links used in logs (especially diffs).

Example, a Bureaucrat on enwiki flags a bot, with a diff to the relevant Bot Approvals Group decision. The log entry renders in an ugly format, meaning anybody following up on the 'crat's actions are hindered. The result is an overall decrease in efficiency.

I am unsure why logs do not support hyperlinks, but I would be pleased to see it implemented. Is this enhancement possible? Cheers, --AGK
