So, just one question: how should the merge of "Admin Trackers" and
"List Trackers" be called? We have a similarly unified interface for
blogs and spreadsheets. For blogs, the menu item is called List Blogs
(tiki-list_blogs.php) and the page's title is Blogs. For spreadsheets,
the menu item is called List Sheets (tiki-sheets.php) and the page is
titled Spreadsheets.
