Proposal: No more anonymous rules

Add the following sentence to the end of rule 1.5 “Enactment”:
Immediately after enacting a proposal that causes a rule with no name to be added to the ruleset, unless the proposal specifically states that the rule should have no name, the enacting admin can change the rule’s title to give it a name, so long as doing so does not change the meaning of any part of the ruleset, nor change any properties of the rule (such as specific words in the title) that the ruleset specifically cares about.
Anonymous rules are all-to-easy to create by mistake. Wording this is actually quite hard, due to often putting special markers in rule titles (anyone remember groundhog rules?) The idea of the rule was taken from Agora, where the Rulekeepor (equivalent of the enacting admin) can retitle rules with no title as they’re created; “immediately after” makes it easier to ensure that rules cannot be retitled in scammy ways, by insisting that they mean the same thing before and after.
