What is the convention when creating MVC admin pages in sitecore?
What routing is used, where are controllers and views placed?

What do you mean by "admin pages"? Pages which are accessible for sitecore administrators under /instance/sitecore/admin url or admin pages for visitors?– Peter ProcházkaApr 8, 2019 at 9:28

Usually, you can create an item (or a whole structure) in your content tree for admin pages as well. You get:
- Item permissions to manage access to various admin pages
- You can store settings/configurations on these items
- Get versioning/workflow for these data
- Utilize the rendering pipeline of Sitecore
Unless you have very unique requirements, I don't think you should separate these pages from Sitecore's other aspects.
You can place .cshtml files in your site's /sitecore folder or subfolders and browse to them directly by filename, e.g. http://mysite.com/sitecore/my-folder/my-file.cshtml. I haven't seen this documented anywhere, but it works.
I don't know how you'd do it with an actual MVC controller class.
