Not "enforcing", but it's certainly possible to show an error message for missing parameters. Many other cite templates do so.

When working on a wp article with, in some cases, several hundred references, one needs mnemonic tools to keep from confusing them. Requiring a legible refname or Harvard ref would go far to addressing this
The template's documentation already recommends using a meaningful reference name (there is as yet no technical method of "enforcing" such good practice) .
Of course, those attacking the template and calling for its deletion didn't mention that, and nor did they include one when they gave examples.
