+## Automated check for Issues with missing labels
+
+We have a GitHub Action (`find-issues-with-missing-labels.yml`) to find issues on our repository that are missing labels.
+Any Issues with missing labels will be put in a list in a new "error" Issue.
+
+The Action runs each week.
+
+### Apply the correct labels manually
+
+The Action will not fix any badly labeled issues.
+This means that you, or we, must apply the correct labels to any affected Issue.
