What article on docs.github.com is affected?

https://docs.github.com/en/developers/webhooks-and-events/events/issue-event-types

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

There are several issue event types that can be encountered when using the issue/timeline events REST API that are not documented in the aforementioned page. Some examples are added_to_merge_queue, auto_merge_disabled, auto_merge_enabled, auto_squash_enabled, but there are others...
As @felicitymay rightly pointed out in #35045, auto-generating the content of the article would be the best way to ensure it stays up-to-date as new events are introduced.

@Fs00 Thank you so much for your patience while our SME team reviewed! ✨

After some digging, we found that issue-event-types.md has actually been written manually! Given this doc is not auto-generated, and we currently don't have plans to auto-generate this content in the near future, we'd love to open up filling in the missing event types to the community 💛

We've added the help wanted label to this issue so that you, or anyone else, may update this doc with the missing event types 🙇

Thanks for the answer @nguyenalex836, even if it's a bit disappointing IMHO. Can we have at least a glimpse on why there are no plans to auto-generate the article content? If it's going to be updated only manually, it'll always lag behind the actual event types returned by the API (which will eventually add up as new features are added to GitHub).

[nguyenalex836]

@Fs00 We completely understand. Whilst autogeneration certainly be helpful, implementation would be complex and require company-wide investment. We will certainly keep this idea on our radar for future GitHub Docs enhancements 💛

@Fs00 Apologies that this isn't the answer you'll be looking for (at least for now), but I'm going to transfer this to an internal issue to see if we can move the needle there. Thank you for another valuable contribution—we really appreciate it
