The list of regex fragments on this page is used to check URLs. It doesn't match on words outside of links and has a specialized format for some matching functions, see here: Extension:SpamBlacklist. The interesting aspect of this page is that we can opt to Blacklist EVERYTHING using a regex fragment that matches all, and then make use of MediaWiki:Spam-whitelist to specifically allow domains we know are friendly. The latter method might end up being the better/easier-to-manage option for us.
