I appreciate the sentiment behind trying to deal with this problem, since I often encounter abbreciations on this list that I need to puzzle over before giving my best guess. I don't think the hard line approach will help them. It's just not a winnable battle.

What I do is that I simply put in "WP:" plus the abbreviation/acronym in the search box and click Go. That will pretty much always give you the right answer. Take ASF, for instance. WP:ASF leads to the Avoid Self Reference policy page.
