For more information on creating links, see "Basic writing and formatting syntax."

Labels

When referencing the URL of a label in Markdown, the label is automatically rendered. Only labels of the same repository are rendered, URLs pointing to a label from a different repository are rendered as any URL.

The URL of a label can be found by navigating to the labels page and clicking on a label. For example, the URL of the label "enhancement" in our public docs repository is

https://github.com/github/docs/labels/enhancement

{% note %}

Note: If the label name contains a period (.), the label will not automatically render from the label URL.

{% endnote %}
