"Tasks" and "Index" are nouns that are too abstract

Problem/Motivation

/admin shows two local tasks "Tasks" and "Index". In the Drupal tradition these are very abstract nouns that no one understands.

When you first hear the word "Tasks" you probably think of a todo list which is definitely not what this page is.
When you first hear the word "Index" you might think of a key/value store or more likely you'll just be confused and not know what to think.

Steps to reproduce

Proposed resolution

To better describe what these pages are may require using more than one word.

I propose:
"Administration categories"
"Configure by module"

Remaining tasks

User interface changes

    It is used to alert the product manager core committer(s) that an issue represents a significant new feature, UI change, or change to the "user experience" of Drupal, and their signoff is needed. If an issue significantly affects the usability of Drupal, use Needs usability review instead (see the governance policy draft for more information).
