Categories that indirectly include themselves should be avoided, right? This category is in "E-commerce" (which is already weird), which is in "Applications of cryptography", which is in "Cryptography", which is in "Computer security", which is this category again. Also, couldn't a bot check all category loops and report them to someone who can sort them out? Fabian42 (talk) 08:58, 8 April 2019 (UTC)Reply
