I was trying to update the top one, template:cleanup, when I realized that both templates actually place the offending page in the same category: category:Articles in need of major additions. So if the practical effect is the same, why have two different messages? Wouldn't it make some sense to turn template:cleanup into a redirect to Template:Gone to Pot?

- Gone to Pot is an article with gigantic problems, but somewhere in the mess is the possibility of a good article, or at least a stub of an article. Cleanup is basically what it says, it needs a bit of a cleanup to get it up to standard, or it has some spelling, grammar or wikification errors. --Tangerineduel 07:35, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
- Okay, then why do they both automatically place the page in the same category? Shouldn't they be putting articles in to different categories? CzechOut ☎ | ✍ 21:43, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
