Confluence Wiki page Label bulk application

[Greg Della-Croce]

I am looking for a solution to the problem of pages without labels.

I can get a list of pages that do not have labels, about 19,000 of them in our Wiki.

1. I need to know if there is a way to create lists of pages and bulk apply standard labels to those pages.
2. I also need to know if there is a way to mandate that when a page is created that the creator must add at least one of a standard set of labels.

Thank you for your help!

Hi Greg, 

thanks for the question. I had the same. I would like to know how you got the list of unlabeled sites?

Regards

Julia

Unless you can find an existing add-on that can do this, after trying to create a CQL query to do this it may be a case of extracting a list of all pages and then filtering out those that don't have labels.

Julia,  Sorry it took my a while to get back to you.  Try this:  type:page NOT labelText:[a TO z]  NOT labelText:[0 TO 9]

I manged to do this through the API without any add-ons. Had some problems at first because the Atlassian code did not not work according to the documentation. Had to be modified when used on a windows machine or through the Confluence rest API browser. https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/56038856 

That covers the first step. All you need after that is the pageid's on the pages you want to modify and create a loop script or bat file

Have you checked any of the add-ons in the marketplace for label management?
