This question counts as an edge-case question: How to organize a block of text in 8-character lines?

Such an edge-case question can be considered extremely loosely on-topic for AskUbuntu. However, it is fully on-topic for StackOverflow or Unix&Linux.

In such edge cases as these, what is the moderation/migration policies relating to such questions? Subsequently, if a question is found to be an edge case for AskUbuntu, but is fully on-topic for one other StackExchange site, what is the recommended flagging action that should be taken by a non-Moderator?
