31310	Wrong hint about recursive relationship	Matheus Cunha Motta	nobody	"When there's more than 2 ForeignKeys in an intermediary model of a m2m field and no through_fields have been set, Django will show an error with the following hint:
  {{{#!python
hint=(
    'If you want to create a recursive relationship, '
    'use ForeignKey(""%s"", symmetrical=False, through=""%s"").'
  }}}
But 'symmetrical' and 'through' are m2m keyword arguments, not ForeignKey.

This was probably a small mistake where the developer thought ManyToManyField but typed ForeignKey instead. And the symmetrical=False is an outdated requirement to recursive relationships with intermediary model to self, not required since 3.0. I'll provide a PR with a proposed correction shortly after.
