This had the same error the SA4 page had: when calling a named ref, it looks like you just need to use the basic {{ref}} template

== Named References ==
If you're going use a particular reference multiple times, you may find '''named references''' useful. Just include the additional parameter <code>|name=</code> in the reference template. Whenever you want to reuse that reference, you
''Example:'' Say you want to cite book X chapter 4. For the first reference use <code><nowiki>{{book ref|X|4|name=X4}}</nowiki></code>, and then for every other instance just use <code><nowiki>{{
In fact, you can ''really'' keep the article clean by putting long reference templates directly in the Notes section. Instead of <code><nowiki><references /></nowiki></code>, put all of your long citations (with names added) between <code><nowiki><references></nowiki></code> and <code><nowiki></references></nowiki></code> tags down in the Notes section. Then you can call them out in the body of the article with the names alone!
