 [^1]: The `O` in `O-*` labels originally stood for *operating system (OS)*.
 [^2]: The `I` in `I-*` labels originally stood for *importance*. This makes the most sense for the `I-*-nominated` labels. For most `I-*` labels however it makes sense to interpret the `I` as *issue (kind)*.

+### Aliases
+
+The configuration also supports aliases, a single *word* that is expanded in a set of labels allowing setting multiple labels with a single command, useful when adding or removing the same set of labels over and over. To configure an alias, add to the triagebot the following item:
+```toml
+[relabel.alias-name]
+add-labels = ["Foo", "Bar"]
+rem-labels = ["Baz"]
+```
+
+`add-labels` and `rem-labels` and arrays of labels that the alias will expand to. For example, given the above configuration:
+```
+# the command
+@rustbot label alias-name
+
+# translates to
+@rustbot label +Foo +Bar -Baz
+```
+
+Aliases can also be *negative*, inverting the effect:
+```
+# this command
+@rustbot label -alias-name
+
+# translates to
+@rustbot label +Baz -Foo -Bar
+```
+
+You can also mix labels and aliases. Self-canceling labels will be omitted:
+```
+# this command
+@rustbot label alias-name +Baz
+
+# translates to:
+@rustbot label +Foo +Bar
+```
