Yes, it would.  Better still would be to:
# not limit that automatic output to section edits, but instead automatically
*output* a references section (if there are ref tags but no references section)
for the whole page or section (while displaying an existing page or section, to
cover up the problem with existing pages) - we already have detection logic for
this in the parser;
# and automatically *add* a references section (if there are ref tags but no
references section) for the whole page to the wikitext (while editing, to fix
the problem with existing pages).

An ambitious bot, set of bots, or database correction could automatically *add*
a references section (if there are ref tags but no references section) for the
whole page to the wikitext for every page in every project of every
organization that uses this extension to fix the problem with existing pages,
given approval by the developers of those projects.
