This might be another one of my dumb ideas, but here we go. Since Krystle started the community quality review, articles have been checked for there accuracy. If nothing works, it’s inaccurate. If it does work, it’s accurate. We have two ways of signaling that an article is inaccurate. The first would be {{accuracy}}. The second is {{nfd|acc}}. Since we’re reviewing the accuracy of articles, do we even need {{nfd|acc}}? I mean, the article is deleted. What if it is accurate? One time, I witnessed @Illneedasaviour tagging an accurate article with {{nfd|acc}}. I was wondering if it was possible to stop using acc for a few weeks or so and just use the accuracy tag. We could create a new category called “Articles needing to be reviewed”, where all articles tagged with {{accuracy}} would go. As to training users to not use {{nfd|acc}}, it could be removed from NAB for a few weeks and the sagtabox for it removed from {{nfd}}. Thoughts?

If the advice in an article were harmful or inadvisable to follow, it might be best to delete the article. The nfd/acc category provides a graduation in harmfulness that is somewhat less than nfd/dan.

There isn’t a point in having an inaccurate article here. No one would want to follow it. So if I see one, I tag it for deletion. I feel that the {{accuracy}} one is more for where an article’s accuracy is questionable, but may not be inaccurate.

Why should we stop using the nfd|acc tag if it is applicable? From the deletion policy:_Accuracy: Severe accuracy problems that can’t be easily edited away. Use {{accuracy}} or edit to fix is always first choice._NFD is for articles that can’t be fixed easily, or are inaccurate relative to the titlein a way that can’t be rectified. By the way, when the {{accuracy}} template is added to an article, it does get categorized as such and all articles with the {{accuracy}} tag can be viewed and/or edited here: http://www.wikihow.com/index.php?title=Category:Accuracy&viewMode=text A list of articles with NFD|acc can be found here: http://www.wikihow.com/index.php?title=Category:NFD-(Accuracy)&viewMode=text
