Article flagging: needs references/links/spelling fixes/etc

It would be very useful if users can flag an article to show that the article needs:

References
bbcode fixes
Spelling fixes
Broken link fixes

Then editors who favor this kind of activity can easily find articles that have such flag and work on that. It would be very beneficial if the admin can create custom flags.
Such flags could also be used in combination with-, or as a dependence for-, article quality ratings: https://www.vaultwiki.org/issues/3508/

For XenForo it would be extremely valuable to get trophies for:
- user has resolved X references
- user has resolved X spelling fixes
- user has resolved X broken links
- user has resolved X custom_flag_A
- user has resolved X flags (for all flags in total)

Because this would motivate members to go on a editing spree.

I must admit, I really like the flagging idea. I feel like I would go on flagging and/or related editing sprees in my own wikis after this becomes available.

For reference, this other issue shows a good example of what notifications for new flags might look like: https://www.vaultwiki.org/issues/4003/

Yeah, the more I think about it the more I want it. I hope that this is something we will see soon.
