Well, now I understand why my APA formatting is full of "None to claim their bones" #1

When no author is provided in an entry, "None to claim their bones" is used in place of an author. I can't say this conforms to the principle of least astonishment.

For example:

None to claim their bones (2008). Sandbox '08: Proceedings of
the 2008 ACM SIGGRAPH Symposium on Video Games. New York, NY, USA: Association
for Computing Machinery.

Looks like this library follows an APA implementation guide from FSU too literally. The meaning of the provided example is that for in-text citations, a article's title should be used in place of its author when there is no author, not that "None to claim their bones" should be used generally as a placeholder for a missing author.
