In D7 a module's help overview page displays all the module's admin links. In D8 the code is still there to do this but it is not appearing.
See the node help page in D7 below:
In Drupal 8 we are missing the entire "Node administration pages" section.

jhodgdonLooks good!
I tested this and looked at the Node page. The admin/content page is not listed, as it was in Drupal 7:
Should it be? It seems like it should be. Why isn't it?
I also compared a few other modules D7 to D8 (with patch):
- Taxonomy - same links, Taxonomy and Taxonomy Permissions
- Comment: D7 has just Comments and Comment permissions; D8 also has Comment Types (which didn't exist in D7)... which also suggests that Content should be there for Node if Comments are there for Comment
- Block - same links, slightly different names, seems correct
- dblog - missing the "Top search phrases" link in D8, not sure what happened to that?
- Search 0 same in both
So there seem to be a few missing links, and I'm not sure why... should we fix that here or open another issue? I think Node having Content as a link is pretty important... but as it is I think the patch is RTBC as far as it displaying what is returned from system_get_module_admin_tasks(), which is what is tested.
There's just a problem that not everything is returned by that function. I guess that's out of scope but I think it needs a followup, so I'll file one... after I submit this comment.
Added beta eval

webchickNice catch. This gets us moving in the right direction at least.
