What's the difference between

template:cleanup
and
template:Gone to Pot

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)
