I keep finding myself using the 'question', 'help wanted' and 'discuss' labels together on issues. I'm not sure if it's label over-kill and wondered if I'm somehow missing the distinctions between their purposes:

help-wanted #128A0C - looking for help or expertise on a subject
question #CC317C - for open questions
discuss #60EEEE - invites discussion from contributors

E.g.
research-resource/research_resource#51

The logic behind my use of them is to apply them when... an issue needs input from others (help-wanted) and I'm not sure of the right/wrong answer (question /discuss).

What do others think?

@Cleop there's nothing "wrong" with using multiple labels.
labels are a great way to categorize information 👍
once we have "One View" across all projects we can request help from anyone in our community! 🎉
The question label is a useful piece of info
that indicates that someone has something they would like an answer to
(and might not take very long ...)
discuss is useful because the question might be a good place to discuss more than one answer/option.
Your logic is flawless. continue. ❤️ ✅
