You have a tendency to do something like this: "The Asia Pacific Network Information Center (APNIC)" I generally think either the acronym or the full title should be chosen, not both, unless you perhaps are introducing a rather rare/uncommon acronym at the beginning of an article. So if you don't want to link just APNIC, because maybe you've overused the term or you want it to be clear, but still want to to lead to the right article do this: <nowiki>[APNIC|Asia Pacific Networking Group]</nowiki>. That way you don't always have to say both the title and acronym, choose either depending on context but remember to link to the same consistent place. That same consistent link is generally the acronym.

-Another note on this: one place where you made the exactly right decision to use the acronym and spell it out is the intro to [[David Gomes]]' article.
