Feature summary:

• According to m:InternetArchiveBot/How the bot fixes broken links#Parsing the page the IABot scans the page’s wikitext for known syntax elements.
• Sub-referencing (<ref name="..." details="...">) is currently not supported – it should be.

Use cases and benefits:

• Assume a page with the following wikitext:

<ref name="example" details="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page">Example</ref>
<ref name="example2">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page"</ref>

• When scanning the page and adding archive links, IABot currently ignores the sub-reference (example).
• While most sub-references just contain a page number, some contain URLs, e.g. Google Books links / scans of different book pages or sub-pages of a website.
