I agree that we need to change these from being called "site pages".
However, I think "general pages" is maybe not the best replacement. It
avoids the confusion of the word "site", but I'd like to get something
more descriptive than "general".

I'd also like to avoid calling these "pages" at all, because:

1. In Mahara, a "Page" means a portfolio page, with blocks on it. It's
confusing to use it in other contexts, especially other editable
contexts that use a different editing mechanism.

2. Some of these are not even standalone webpages. "Home (Dashboard)"
and "Terms and Conditions" are inserted as text snippets into other
webpages.

How about... "system messages"?

Title:
  Rename "Edit site pages" to "General pages"

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  "Edit site pages" existed for the entire site, but since bug #1254299
  now also for institutions. I find this wording unfortunate as you mix
  site pages into institution pages.

  I suggest we rename "Edit site pages" to "General pages". That way, we fix a few things
  1. Get rid of "Edit": we don't have a verb in any of the other menu items anymore.
  2. Get rid of "Site" because it can also be confused with the site "portfolio" pages that can be created and used as templates for example.
  3. Still allows us to have the same menu item for institutions without mixing site into institution.
