Not really, I can't see how tags help at all in here. We are talking
about any kind of edit (nothing that can be matched by regex) which
seems suspicious to vandal-fighter (human) but who can't make sure if
it's vandalism or not. Nothing like abuse filter nor patrolled edits
can help here (unless we mark every single edit as patrolled and these
people who see such a suspicious edit would mark it as un-patrolled or
something like that)
