Summary0002463: /NAMES without parameter
Description -
***** Names *****
 -
 Provides a list of users on the specified channel.
 -
Syntax: NAMES <channel>
Example: NAMES #Support
 -

The channel parameter is required in the /NAMES command says the help. So, /NAMES without any parameter should just return an error like "Not enough parameters" instead of "End of /NAMES list."

According to RFC 1459 the channel parameter is not required:
If no <channel> parameter is given, a list of all channels and their occupants is returned. At the end of this list, a list of users who are visible but either not on any channel or not on a visible channel are listed as being on `channel' "*".

(Sounds like a very bad idea to me... O.o)

RFC1459 says the channel is optional, we do not. However, to remain compatible with channels that expect it to be optional, we must return that numeric. You will find that all IRCds do this.
