Manage Labels

Use this script to rename, add, and remove page labels in bulk. 

Labels can't contain spaces or uppercase letters. If you want a label to contain more than one word, use an underscore or a hyphen, which are the only two special characters allowed. They can contain a maximum of 255 characters.
