For a user with multiple sites, navigating to /settings/:site or /sites/:site results in a site selector that does nothing upon picking a site:

I experienced this error when mistakenly navigating to /settings/:site instead of /settings/general/:site by editing the URL, then learned that /sites/:site is similarly broken.
Since /settings, /settings/general, and /sites all work without a site, we should probably make sure they do something reasonable with /:site appended to them as well.
Good find —
A user-centric note for context, most people probably won't type in URLs like we know how to do, though.
