Are there situations where you might need to

without it being a wiki-link?
Very rarely I think. Usually abbreviation is either known to absolutely
everyone, like `kg' or `etc', or specific to some domain of knowledge, and
article about it should be written.
I don't agree that there should be an article on each such abbreviation;
however, if there is no article, one should just write out the abbrevation
in almost all cases. I tend to write out abbreviations like "etc.",
"i.e."
and "a.o." whenever they occur in an article I am editing.
