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 * SpamBlacklist * rate limits * Special:LinkSearch
I did a bit of investigation. Results below.

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.
Research was done (and led to the creation of bug 63632)
