See Here you make a :ref: to LABELS, but like GRUB_TITLE, it needs to be added to variables.rst, otherwise it produces a compile error. You would also use :term:, not :ref:. Can you add documentation for it? Since "LABELS" by its own does not refer to Grub, just make sure to start the description with: """ When inheriting the :ref:`ref-classes-grub-efi` class, ... """ So someone reading the description knows in which context it's used. If you do, please also use :term: in the class description above. Thanks for the separate mail/Signed-off-by!
