I've tried the obvious possibilities to the best of my ability.
Unfortunately without constantly scanning it's pretty much unknowable.
 The system is capable of replacing text too (it's a full
man-in-the-middle)... so we either have to take it on faith that
nothing else is being done, or find a way to scan.

I've been told by that the lists used are rife with obvious example of
technical incompetence (i.e. including session IDs in URLs, or
outright invalid syntax). With that in mind we probably can't expect
reasonable application even if we have faith that the intentions are
good.  For instance, the rule might be change to avoid the currently
successful evasion of using the /w/ URL but in the process of doing
that every article title with "virgin" as a substring might end up
blocked.  Our only option is to constantly scan if we don't want
Wikipedia to be mysteriously missing content.
