+28. Many-to-many relationships between the same two tables
+
+In this example, a ``Person`` can have many friends, who are also ``Person``
+objects. Friendship is a symmetrical relationship - if I am your friend, you
+are my friend. Here, ``friends`` is an example of a symmetrical
+``ManyToManyField``.
+
+A ``Person`` can also have many idols - but while I may idolize you, you may
+not think the same of me. Here, ``idols`` is an example of a non-symmetrical
+``ManyToManyField``. Only recursive ``ManyToManyField`` fields may be
+non-symmetrical, and they are symmetrical by default.
+
+This test validates that the many-to-many table is created using a mangled name
+if there is a name clash, and tests that symmetry is preserved where
+appropriate.
