Description

Context

To better understand how users are using subreferencing let's look into the scraper data and see if we can find patterns.

Task

We can start this task without scraper data, just by looking at Kategorie:Wikipedia:Seite mit ref-Parameter details.

Categorize use cases under that category, starting with a random sample. It might not be necessary to eyeball all 1,391 pages.
Write analysis in cite_refs.ex to automatically categorize details contents, according to findings.

Uncategorized sub-referencing use cases are fine, but let's understand what's in this group.
