- I have confirmed this bug exists on the latest version of scanpy.
- (optional) I have confirmed this bug exists on the master branch of scanpy.
The docs for sc.tl.filter_rank_genes_group() are incomplete, specifically missing argument descriptions https://scanpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/generated/scanpy.tl.filter_rank_genes_groups.html.

Not sure if these are missing from the code or just haven't rendered for some reason.
