Bug summary

axes.get_tick_params() introduced in #23692 returns labelright and labelleft even for the x-axis, even though the keys should be called labelbottom or labeltop. This is confusing.

Code for reproduction

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

fig, ax = plt.subplots()
ax.tick_params(labelbottom=True, labeltop=True, labelright=True, labelleft=True)

tick_params = ax.get_xaxis().get_tick_params()

Actual outcome

tick_params = {
"labelright": True,
"labelleft": True,
# ..., no `labelbottom` or `labeltop`
}

Expected outcome

tick_params = {
"labelbottom": True,
"labeltop": True,
}
