Observation

templates/server/overview.html:81:

<h3 class="mb-2 font-medium">{% translate "Also" %}</h3>

Every other heading on the page says what is under it:

Line	Heading
5	Overview
22	Software
39	Data
81	Also

"Also" says only that there is more, which the reader can already see. It is the heading you
write when a card has collected the things that did not fit anywhere else — and that is what
this card is: a health-check link, and a link to Django's admin or a note saying it is off.

Remove it.

What removing it costs, and the choice inside that

The card would then be an unlabelled <ul>. Both links describe themselves —

Health check — what a monitor should poll
Django admin — the escape hatch, for anything this area does not cover

— so a reader loses nothing. Somebody moving by headings loses a landmark, which is a small
real cost on a page with only three. So there are two honest endings and this issue does not
insist on one:

Drop the heading. Simplest, and the card's contents carry themselves.
Name it. If the card keeps a heading it should say what these are — they are both ways
out of this area, to something Postulo does not itself render. A heading along those lines
earns its place; "Also" does not.

Free to do

The string is used in exactly one place — nothing else in src/ or tests/ refers to it —
so removing it is a one-line template change. msgid "Also" currently sits in 68 catalogues
and scripts/messages.py extract drops it from all of them without anyone editing a .po.

Take the heading off the card that had nothing to call itself

Landed on 0.3.0 as 8a3491dbb.

The card carries itself; no replacement label was added, since an invisible name standing in for a visible one people found meaningless is not an improvement.

End Server settings -> Overview with how to keep Postulo going, not with the health check
