	* Fix scoped label left and right part breaking across lines. * Remove slanted divider in scoped label display, make it straight. After using this for a while, this feels more visually noisy than helpful. * Reduce contrast between scope and item to reduce probability of unreadable text on background. * Change documentation to remove mention of non-exclusive scoped labels.

# Labels
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
You can use labels to classify issues and pull requests and to improve your overview over them.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Creating Labels
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
For repositories, labels can be created by going to `Issues` and clicking on `Labels`.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
For organizations, you can define organization-wide labels that are shared with all organization repositories, including both already-existing repositories as well as newly created ones. Organization-wide labels can be created in the organization `Settings`.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Labels have a mandatory name, a mandatory color, an optional description, and must either be exclusive or not (see `Scoped Labels` below).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
When you create a repository, you can ensure certain labels exist by using the `Issue Labels` option. This option lists a number of available label sets that are [configured globally on your instance](../customizing-gitea/#labels). Its contained labels will all be created as well while creating the repository.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Scoped Labels
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Scoped labels are used to ensure at most a single label with the same scope is assigned to an issue or pull request. For example, if labels `kind/bug` and `kind/enhancement` have the Exclusive option set, an issue can only be classified as a bug or an enhancement.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
A scoped label must contain `/` in its name (not at either end of the name). The scope of a label is determined based on the **last** `/`, so for example the scope of label `scope/subscope/item` is `scope/subscope`.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Filtering by Label
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Issue and pull request lists can be filtered by label. Selecting multiple labels shows issues and pull requests that have all selected labels assigned.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
By holding alt to click the label, issues and pull requests with the chosen label are excluded from the list.
