We need to check if MediaWiki's standard spam prevention features work as they should in Wikibase as well. The ones that come to mind are:
Version: unspecified
Severity: normal
Whiteboard: u=dev c=backend p=8 s=2014-04-01

I did a bit of investigation. Results below.

We need to check if MediaWiki's standard spam prevention features work as
they should in Wikibase as well. The ones that come to mind are:
- AbuseFilter
added_links and removed_links don't seem to work (are always empty), also all_links only seems to include old links.
old_links seems to work correctly.
- SpamBlacklist
Works correctly as far as I can tell (only tested very briefly).
Please note that a log about this on Wikidata can be found on https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:Log/spamblacklist
- rate limits
Not directly spam related, also there are unit tests for that. If there's more need here, I can test this, but I don't think this is worth the effort right now.
- Special:LinkSearch
Looks good and works fine locally and on Wikidata
In conclusion it looks like everything works as it should except of our beloved AbuseFilter.
