==Description==

The '''label disambiguation comment''' is a field in the database used to help distinguish [[Identically Named Labels|labels with identical names or LabelCode]]. It's structurally identical, and has the same purpose as the [[Artist Comment|artist disambiguation comment field]].

The '''label disambiguation comment''' will appear in the search results next to each name: the disambiguation comment should be kept fairly short. A few words is normally enough, just enough that someone reading it will recognize the [[Label]] they're looking for. The '''label disambiguation comment''' field is not a place to store general background information: that kind of information should go in the [[Label Annotation|LabelAnnotation]].

You will be prompted to enter a disambiguation comment any time you enter a new [[Label]] which shares its name with an existing [[Label]], but you'll not be prompted to enter a disambiguation comment for the "old" one. To enhance the search results, you should ideally provide a disambiguation comment for the old [[Label]] as well, by editing it on its [[Edit Label Page|EditLabelPage]].
