24432	Documentation: M2M through attribute is underspecified	Kevin Christopher Henry	Floris den Hengst	"The [[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/models/fields/#django.db.models.ManyToManyField.through|documentation]] says that the automatically created `through` attribute has fields named `<containing_model>_id` and `<other_model>_id`.

That can't be true when it is a M2M to `self`, since `containing_model` and `other_model` are the same. A quick test shows that the fields in that case are named `from_<model>_id` and `to_<model>_id`. The documentation should cover this case."
