Sorry, I should have worded my comment better. What I was saying was that if
you want to recognize spam on the fly that requires defining it first - and
it is not an easy thing to define. If you have pre-defined links in
SpamBlacklist then sure, the task becomes fairly trivial - simply that of
deleting those links.

Sorry, I don't understand your comments well. In SpamBlacklist, we have
defined some links are spam, so that spam links change could be reverted.

I am not sure if there are any tools to remove spams in database
automatically and permanently. For example, the script tool iterates
over
every page, and check if there is any revision in
history equal to the
current page, if so, remove all revisions after the matched revision?
Thanks for your suggestion in advance,
Wensong
