My point, Andy, was that some parameters can be required, such as CS1 requiring the parameter Title. Further, the Ref parameter can be automated, as with ref=harv.

Not "enforcing", but it's certainly possible to show an error message for missing parameters. Many other cite templates do so.
The subject under discussion was "a legible refname"; that's not a parameter of the template and no cite templates currently warn if a refname is missing, let alone not "legible".
