The software supports automatically preserving the standing flagging

flags make edits. This eliminates the inherit doubling.
Does that flag the entire article, or only the change?
Individual revisions are flagged. So for the first time a page gets
flagged, the person setting the flag will be expected to look over the
entire article to make sure there is no lingering vandalism. If there
is an earlier flagged version, and intermediate revisions are not
flagged, then someone setting a flag on a new edit will be expected to
check the changes since the last flagged version. Automatically
flagging will mean something along the lines of "the immediately
previous version is flagged and the person who made a change from that
is trusted, therefore the change is trusted, therefore the whole
article remains flagged."
