Description
External pages are enabled via the External Pages plugin. The pages are configured in the Admin/Appearance/Site Pages menu. Seems confusing. Probably should be named consistently

We have two plugins: externalpages and sitepages. The sitepages was suppose to replace externalpages but it wasn't ready for 1.8. I agree with Brett on the names. The only reference that I could find was the listing name from the manifest. I'll update this and then close the ticket.

IIRC at some point site pages and external pages were separate plugins and we merged them or dropped one.
I don't like the name "External Pages" because I don't think it conveys the purpose of the plugin. We're stuck with the plugin id (directory name) for 1.8, but we do have the option to change all references. For 1.8.1 we should at least make sure the user-facing references are all the same.
We can also move the menu entry to the plugin settings menu.
