Uploaders are currently uploading content on video2commons which hits the spam filter. Thus it is impossible to change the page without removing or altering the links. For some odd reason, this also has the side effect of not refreshing categories on the page when the batch process runs around 12AM Eastern time.
Example: https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?diff=195084631.

Sounds like the upload API might be bypassing the spam filter (which probably has lots of redirects in it for dubious reasons). Should reject the upload save in the first place if the description page hits the filter...
Change 300546 had a related patch set uploaded (by Matthias Mullie):
Filter file uploads
Thus it is impossible to change the page without removing or altering the links.
This should not be the case. SpamBlacklist is supposed to only look at links which are added in the edit, not an previously existing ones. If you're sure that this occurs, can you file a separate bug for it?
With the patch by Matthias, an error message is shown on Special:Upload, giving the user a chance to correct the description without reuploading the file:
The action=upload API returns a result like this (the 'filekey' can also be used to complete the upload without having to upload the whole file again). I'm not sure where the "0" is coming from, there is a lot of weird legacy stuff in action=upload output. But you can rely on the code and spamblacklist properties.
