Any user with 'edit' permission for a page can add a global label to it.
To add a global label,
- View the page. If the page already has labels, these will be listed at the bottom of the page below the page content.
- Click the 'Add Labels' or the 'Edit' link beside the list of labels.
- An input field will open below the existing labels. If available, it will also show you a list of 'suggested labels'. These are the labels that you have used recently and the most popular labels in the space. Your personal labels will also appear here if you have used them frequently or recently. Check if you want to use any of the suggested labels. Click a label to add it to the page.
- If you want to add a new label, simply type it in and click 'Add'. As you type, the drop-down field will display the label closest to the word you are typing. It is possible another user may have added the same label or a similar label which you can select and reuse.
- Click 'Done'.
 | Note Labels are always in lowercase. Even if you use uppercase characters, Confluence will convert these to lowercase when it adds the label. |

Indeed, Confluence does not allow multiple word labels yet. You will need to replace the spaces with other characters such as dashes or undesrscores.
If the labels are quoted, such as "InfoMan dialog box", it will be tokenized into "InfoMan, dialog and box". Hope that helps.
Cheers,

I was thinking that for certain pages it might be nice to make labels more a part of the page that the user is editing. Now it is kindof tucked in down at the bottom, and it becomes a bit of an afterthought to the user.
Thanks,
Brian

As far as I can think of, there is one way of relocating the label editor to somewhere else on your page. You can try going to Space Admin->Layout->Content Layouts->Page Layout and create a custom layout for that. Then, look for the code shown below:
parse ("/labels/labels-editor.vm")You can move the code anywhere you want, for instance, this will move it to the top of the page:
<div class="wiki-content"> #parse ("/labels/labels-editor.vm") $body </div>Please note that this may require some knowledge on Velocity and Sitemesh.
Best rgds,
Zed

If your requirement is to add labels to child pages of a parent page, you might be interested in Label Management Plugin especially the sticky label.
Hope this helps.
