I'd consider it unnecessarily impolite to clearly link the real name of somebody to an article if the person has decided to "unlink" those works from one's identity. The possibility of something for everybody does not implicate that reducing the difficulty for everybody is something one ought to do.

Name reference removed, and I managed to reread your post and notice you weren't saying I should have already inferred that I was supposed to do that from the context here.

Edit: for the record, I probably wouldn't have commented in the first place if the site didn't require me to do it as much as possible to keep the ability to downvote.
