Community Suggestion: prevent recursive parent category
prevent recursive parent category

What functionality is missing? What is unsatisfying with the current situation?
It is possible to accidentally set a Category folder to be located in its own Child Category folder. For example the Category "Animals" might contain the sub folder "Monsters". But "Animals" can set its Parent Category to "Monsters", which removes that whole Category from the World View. The articles can be directly searched for, but not seen as links. It looks like this may have happened through accidental Drag and Drop on the mobile site.How does this feature request address the current situation?
If you can't set the Parent Category as one of its own Children, this may prevent the issue?What are other uses for this feature request?
