Recent problems with zombie spambots adding links to a throwaway redirect domains are getting more and more serious. Stupid edits like http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=GB&diff=prev&oldid=78391357 can be easily avoided by disallowing to save pages with non-MediaWiki link syntax such as <a href="blahblah", [url=foobar] and [url]someurl[/url]. This will help to decrease the number of sites that require blacklisting and stop most general spambots preemptively.
