Description: 
SpamBlacklist is a simple edit filter extension. When someone tries to save the
page, it checks the text against a potentially very large list of "bad"
hostnames. If there is a match, it displays an error message to the user and
refuses to save the page.

The list of bad URLs can be drawn from multiple sources, including a URL that
contains a list of bad URL regexes, a file that contains a list of bad URL
regexes, or a database location.  The last option will allow you to
manage a local blacklist from a wiki page.  By default, it used the blacklist
at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Spam_blacklist.

Whitelisting is supported as well.

Note from the author regarding stability:
 This extension has not been widely tested outside Wikimedia. Although it has
 been in production on Wikimedia websites since December 2004, it should be
 considered experimental. Its design is simple, with little input validation,
 so unexpected behaviour due to incorrect regular expression input or
 non-standard configuration is entirely possible.
Just to repeat, this is an *EXPERIMENTAL* extension.
