[Schema Inaccuracy] Fix media types in rest/gists/comments.md

[cmwilson21]

Transferring an OS PR over. - github/docs#22245

The media types seem to be wrong on the page https://docs.github.com/en/rest/gists/comments

To test the current ones, which seem to have no effect:

$ curl --silent -H "Accept: application/vnd.github.3.base64+json" https://api.github.com/gists/9257657/comments/1221189 | grep body 
  "body": "Thanks, Octocat!\n"

To test the new ones, which have an effect:

$ curl --silent -H "Accept: application/vnd.github.3.full+json" https://api.github.com/gists/9257657/comments/1221189 | grep body 
  "body_html": "<p dir=\"auto\">Thanks, Octocat!</p>",
  "body_text": "Thanks, Octocat!",
  "body": "Thanks, Octocat!\n"

Check off the following:

• I have reviewed my changes in staging (look for the "Automatically generated comment" and click the links in the "Preview" column to view your latest changes).
• For content changes, I have completed the self-review checklist.

I don't think this is an issue with the schema, or requires changing the schema. Please see above steps to reproduce to confirm the current schema is correct. Also, the current documentation at https://docs.github.com/en/rest/overview/media-types?apiVersion=2022-11-28#comment-body-properties mentions the correct media types.

The only issue is the media types mentioned on the gist comments page itself, which is fixed by github/docs#22245

For context, the docs were initially added in github/docs@2ade7d8#diff-c3115422ae00cbd3b9a9d865e26c4412c93a1c368962e1938027d170c061ffaf

Please let us know if this work is still needed. We're trying to follow up on any older issues to make sure they get properly routed.

Closing as stale.

Yeah, this is still an issue. The initial steps to reproduce still work: The docs claim there to be a "base64" encoding, but there is none.

$ date --utc && curl --silent -H "Accept: application/vnd.github.base64+json" https://api.github.com/gists/9257657/comments/1221189 | grep body

  "body": "Thanks, Octocat!\n"

However, there are the other media types (see above for the reproducer).

So either the docs will have to be fixed, or the backend.
