::Zolo, could you replace '''<nowiki>{{Category:{{{1|}}}}}</nowiki>''' with your {{m|error}} ? [[User:Liné1|Liné1]] ([[User talk:Liné1|<span class="signature-talk">talk</span>]]) 17:00, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
:::In cases I have tried, there does not seem to be any loop problem. If content is transcluded from a category, and the category is renamed, it is unlikely that the renamer will notice the error message in files. In that case, I think that transcluding the category is better than an error message, as it will appear correctly for the end user. --[[User:Zolo|Zolo]] ([[User talk:Zolo|<span class="signature-talk">talk</span>]]) 17:21, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
The really problem is that you are transcluding entire categories on file pages. This will cause infinite problems. There's all kinds of category content, not just templates and categories, that should never be added to other pages automatically, especially not of file pages (the gallery/category content exchange is one thing and possibly workable, but this is on a whole different level). People editing a category should have to worry about what they're adding being reused (automatically) for an entirely different purpose. Categories are not templates, please don't use them like they are. There's very little benefit of transcluding the category ''text'' anyway. Image descriptions should be about the image, not the broader topical category it falls. It makes me cringe every time I see a whole taxonomic hierarchy on images of species. Too much information. If people care about that, they are not going to pick random image to tell them that. That's what categories, galleries, and interwikis are for.
