Is there any way to prevent a file from being parsed as a tab on a repository's front page?

Body

I am working with GitHub Pages and have a license.html file located in the docs directory. This file appears as one of the tabs on my repository's homepage next to the README tab because GitHub has automatically identified it as a LICENSE file, shown in the provided screenshot. I’d prefer to avoid renaming the file to circumvent the automatic parsing, as it would require making changes across all local and remote branches.

It seems that it is possible to exclude Community Health files from the set of tabs based on this comment, does anyone know how? The response seems to indicate there is a lack of documentation.
