But, as I understand it, it is technically possible to have numerous types of flags. Therefore it is surely possible to adapr the system to cover referencing issues.
I think that the argument that no flagged revision system can exclude 100% of bad edits is the wrong argument, given our tradition of "soft security" where each vetting process may only catch 90% of problems: we should be grateful for that 90%. So if there is a rather small percentage of edits that are missed by the reviewing system, I would suggest some secondary flagging to handle those, taking them out of the main system. At the very least, it is a good idea to reduce duplication of work.
