A follow-up from this question.

I've noticed that many spam suggested edits have edit summaries that contain an email address (examples: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]). Spambots seem to be treating the edit summary field as if it were the email field in a blog post comment form. It would be great if we took advantage of this to block these spam suggested edits.

    Or, blocking BBCode links ([url] style) and HTML link (<a> style)?

    Sounds good. Just don't block raw http:// links. I link to a lot of meta questions for 'this cleanup' or 'that discussion' etc
