How to Disallow Auto-named Django Migrations:

When you run Django’s manage.py makemigrations, it will try to generate a name for the migration based upon its contents. For example, if you are adding a single field, it will call the migration 0002_mymodel_myfield.py. However when your migration contains more than one step, it instead uses a simple ‘auto’ name with the current date + time, e.g. 0002_auto_20200113_1837.py. You can provide the -n/--name argument to makemigrations, but developers often forget this.
