"Page settings" would be a fine name (or almost any other name, for that matter) IF hovering or clicking that resulted in a menu of choices (categories, default sort, interlanguage links, etc.) That way, an editor could immediately see what "page settings" involved, and whether he/she wanted to explore further.

Instead, at the moment, to see what is "under" that name, the editor has to click on the link, which opens a dialog box; then the editor can explore further.

It's possible to combine the best of both of these (submenu items, single dialog box) by specifying, in the software, that when someone (say) selects the "Default sort" menu item, the dialog box opens with that item already selected (in the left side side of the dialog box), so that the editor can immediately go to work on that particular aspect of page metadata. So a menu of choices not only informs the editor more quickly what his/her options are, but it also saves a click in cases where the editor doesn't want the top-most option (in this case, categories) handled by the dialog box.
