Silverstripe CMS - this is a module for Silverstripe Framework rather than a standalone app. Use https://github.com/silverstripe/silverstripe-installer/ to set this up.
SiteTree is not the only model with hierarchical data. It would be good to be able to manage other hierarchical data in the same way we currently manage SiteTree records.
The exact name of the class isn't important - if you think of a better name, feel free. Though note this class does go hand-in-hand with the Hierarchy extension.
Acceptance Criteria
Make a new abstract HierarchyModelAdmin class and move all of the code from CMSMain into it. This class should live in the admin module
Make CMSMain subclass HierarchyModelAdmin and only give it what it needs as a unique admin section (e.g. url segment, section title, model class)
Delete the subclasses of CMSMain and instead make them action methods implemented in HierarchyModelAdmin
Make sure the correct (renamed) templates are used for these actions
Rename all of the CMSMain templates so that they are named after the new class instead, and move them to the admin module
Any JS and CSS which applied to HierarchyModelAdmin is moved to the admin module
The HierarchyModelAdmin works without needing anything from the cms module
