Optional refname #3

Open

Why does it expect refname? Can't it just iterate through everything in the _collection folder? It's a little redundant to have to write _authors/author-...

The redundancy is so you're forced to be explicit about what you want in a collection. I've seen Jekyll projects where bugs were caused by people putting item X in collection Y when it should have actually been in collection Z, for example. Here, that can't happen. I can see how one might want that to be optional, though.

My use case is simple (a photo gallery), perhaps more complex use cases will result in item being in multiple collections.
