25765	makemigrations and app_label are incompatible	ograycode	Bhuvnesh	"Repo steps:

  * Create a new app called ""testapp""
  * Add one model to the models.py with a meta class and app_label which are different then your current one.
  * Run ""manage.py makemigrations testapp""

On the third step, it will state that there are no changes. If you remove the custom app_label and run makemigrations again it will pick up on the new model. If you change app_label once again, it will see that as a deletion of the model.

I believe that it should either be explicitly documented, or that app_label should have no bearing on makemigrations."	Cleanup/optimization	assigned	Documentation	1.8	Normal			Bhuvnesh	Accepted	0	0	0	0	0	0
