An eccentric possibility is an
ellipse
My suffix is short for the place where you are,
PSE - short for Puzzling Stack Exchange
My infix for who,
I - for myself
My prefix for where you can learn about what's mistaken for me in a crowd at least two.
ELL - short for English Language Learners, which has a linguistics ellipsis tag, which is also the plural (at least two) of ellipse.
To echo a riddle that's greatly renowned ... I come in rounds.
An ellipse is a closed curve that goes around, and there are ellipses in the title and body of this question ...
This puzzle also features the answer three times:
Ellipsis, the omission of words that are understood, or the punctuation mark ..., is used in:
My infix for who - omits you are
Mistaken for me in a crowd at least two - omits of me
To echo a riddle that's greatly renowned ... - has the ellipsis punctuation mark (may also omit here as it's famous on PSE).
