The notice shown after editing an article that matches 
the SpamRegex says: "You might want to check the 
following regular expression for patterns that are 
currently blocked:" (no link or RegEx).

Occurred on [[:de:Mongolei]]

I have removed the "You might want to check the
following regular expression for patterns that are
currently blocked:" portion. You might want to do the same
on the German Wikipedia at [[de:MediaWiki:spamprotectiontext]].

There is still no way for the user to tell why they are
triggering the spam filter. Reopening.

I don't think we should output the whole regex. Maybe just
giving the part of the regex that matched should be enough 
?  Not sure if that's possible though :(

A simple preg_replace() should be able to extract the 
matching text from the article. If there are any reasons not 
to do this, at least sysops should be able to view the regex.
