Discussion
- This would likely be seen as wikitext ruft; names are generally just not necessary. --Izno (talk) 02:30, 17 January 2022 (UTC)
- Perhaps Izno meant "cruft". EpicPupper (talk) 22:49, 28 January 2022 (UTC)
- One option would be to add the name parameter by default but remove it during pre-save transform if it is empty. Tgr (talk) 23:34, 29 January 2022 (UTC)

Support That would mean easier addition of refs tags with names. Thingofme (talk) 13:54, 30 January 2022 (UTC)
Oppose because it does nothing, makes it looks like the name is required, and citations are already quite long in wikitext. Jochem van Hees (talk) 17:14, 3 February 2022 (UTC)- Oppose Same as above. --Vega (talk) 18:04, 3 February 2022 (UTC)
