Hi iFixit team,

I found one that is WTF.

=== ***Bug description*** ===

It seems at least one guide contains circular reference to some prerequisite guides.

This causes the internationalization system to fail and changes are not detected for all related guides (directly or indirectly).

=== How to reproduce this one ===

This one is easy

Step 1 : Go to the French version of iFixit (https://fr.ifixit.com).

Step 2 : Then go to this page : https://fr.ifixit.com/Tutoriel/traduire/14421/fr

Step 3 : Then click on the prerequisite guide called "Toshiba Satellite A105-S4284 Speakers Replacement"

Step 4 : Then click on the prerequisite guide called "Toshiba Satellite A105-S4284 Keyboard Replacement"

Step 5 : Then click on the prerequisite guide called "Toshiba Satellite A105-S4284 Speakers Replacement"

Step 6 : Then click on the prerequisite guide called "Toshiba Satellite A105-S4284 Keyboard Replacement"

Step 7 : etc.

[video|36]

We're running to an infinite loop [link|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marty_McFly|Marty|new_window=true] :-)

=== The problem ===

It seems the platform handle circular references because it doesn't crash (at least for the final user's side).

But this produce changes detection is not triggered for all guides that are linked to these two guides.

Indeed, everything is translated here on this given device page : https://fr.ifixit.com/Device/Toshiba_Satellite_A105-S4284

A lot of guides appeared as untranslated (but are 100% translated for the given device page).
