I want to /ignore a nick and still have their messages appear in my logs. Specifically, I don't want to know that they are talking in channel generally, but want the ability to look through logs to get the full context if I'm following a conversation which does not make much sense.

I don't want this badly enough to learn to write a new script, but am capable and willing to modify an existing script which does close to what I want it to do if it exists.

Was looking for something similar found this,

https://github.com/irssi/scripts.irssi.org/blob/master/scripts/ignore_log.pl

The script will log anything that is set to be ignored.

In case the link goes down, it is referred through https://scripts.irssi.org, and here are the current contents:

#!/usr/bin/perl

# ignore_log.pl (ignore_log -- send [some] ignored events to log), Version 0.1
