Description
The implementation should differ according to the enwiki-type of reference:
1. a footnote or general reference line containing a known reference template* (see definition below)
For this case WARE should:
- list URLs for the book/chapter/thing and their status codes (if an error occurred in check-url it should show that somehow and expose all details somehow. It should tell the user if the URL in question is "alive" in a way that makes sense to the patron.
- for each URL above also show whether a CORRESPONDING archive URL is available and "alive". Available here is defined as being in the same template in a different parameter e.g. archive-url
2. a footnote or general reference line containing a only a URL or archive-url template
For this case WARE should:
- list URLs and their status codes (if an error occurred in check-url it should show that somehow and expose all details somehow). It should tell the user if the URL in question is "alive" in a way that makes sense to the patron.
- for each URL above also show whether a CORRESPONDING archive URL is available and "alive". Available is defined here as being in the same reference wikitext.
3. a footnote or general reference line containing no template
For this case WARE should:
- list detected URLs and their status codes (if an error occurred in check-url it should show that somehow and expose all details somehow). It should tell the user if the URL in question is "alive" in a way that makes sense to the patron.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named in the issue. Start by locating the reference and URL-status presentation code, then compare its handling of known enwiki templates, URL-only references, and references without templates. Done means each case presents detected URLs, status or check-url errors, and the relevant archive-URL availability in an intuitive overview.
