By renaming the label, you also renamed it for all existing issues. Now many labels that were just questions of users (both open and closed) indicate that info is needed - which might be true or not.
Please undo all renaming of labels, both to `info-needed` and `query`. Please undo the changes to the label documentation as well. On the other hand, we all seem to agree that a new additional `info-needed` is valid and needed, so to create that and document it is totally fine. It takes some additional effort to maintain labels like this (as you of course want to remove it after the user replied), but as I assume one/you would only apply the label when also asking for the information, you should get a GitHub notification and be able to take care of that when reading the response. Regarding the "question" label, I understand what you mean, but don't agree. But that is a topic for a new thread then where we can elaborate. -J Am Mi., 17.
