What article on docs.github.com is affected?

https://docs.github.com/en/rest/reactions/reactions?apiVersion=2026-03-10#create-reaction-for-an-issue-comment

What part(s) of the article would you like to see updated?

The endpoint states the following:

The fine-grained token must have the following permission set:

"Issues" repository permissions (write)

X-Accepted-GitHub-Permissions. However most issue endpoints work (and are documented to work) with both issues=ACL and pull_requests=ACL (for example).

And indeed actually trying to POST /repos/{owner}/{repo}/issues/comments/{id}/reactions with just pull_requests=write seems to work fine.
