+11. Relating an object to itself, many-to-one
+
+To define a many-to-one relationship between a model and itself, use
+``ForeignKey('self')``.
+
+In this example, a ``Category`` is related to itself. That is, each
+``Category`` has a parent ``Category``.
+
+Set ``related_name`` to designate what the reverse relationship is called.
