[[Wikimedia Meta-Wiki]] maintains an active [[blacklist]] of link spam target sites and common phrases that are used in link spam. We are connected to this list, and every page save checks this list for bad external links on the list. The blacklist only checks URLs – not the complete content. The blacklist itself can be seen at '''[[MetaWiki:Spam blacklist|Wikimedia Blacklist]]''', and additions to it can be suggested at the '''[[MetaWiki:Talk:Spam blacklist|blacklist talk page]]'''. You can expect this list to contain most of the current major link spam offenders targets. This list is very actively maintained, and should raise our blocking level to about 99.5% of link spam. <small>Is this 99.5% figure still accurate?
