quick_pull=1 does not appear to work

What article on docs.github.com is affected?

I followed the instructions here to try to create a "quick pull request": https://docs.github.com/en/pull-requests/collaborating-with-pull-requests/proposing-changes-to-your-work-with-pull-requests/using-query-parameters-to-create-a-pull-request

using e.g. this URL: https://github.com/kevinburke/differ/compare/master...otherbranch?quick_pull=1

This just goes to the "Compare" view instead of the pull request view.

Note that when you push a git commit, you still get suggested a different URL:

remote: Create a pull request for 'otherbranch' on GitHub by visiting:
remote: https://github.com/kevinburke/differ/pull/new/otherbranch
remote:

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

Either remove the quick_pull=1 documentation or update the site behavior to match the docs.

Additional information

I can reliably reproduce on several different repos

@kevinburkesegment Thanks for opening an issue! I'll take this to the pull requests team and find out if this is a bug or if the documentation is out of date.

@kevinburkesegment The team says the issue is that you haven't made any changes to your branch so there's no diff to display and no reason to create a pull request. It works as long as there's a difference between the main branch and your other branch.
