On second thought, the previous wording could be seen as very ambiguous.

Parameters
----------
ticks : list of floats
List of tick locations.
List of tick locations. The axis `.Locator` is replaced by a
`~.ticker.FixedLocator`.

Some tick formatters will not label arbitrary tick positions;
e.g. log formatters only label decade ticks by default. In
such a case you can set a formatter explicitly on the axis
using `.Axis.set_major_formatter` or provide formatted
*labels* yourself.
labels : list of str, optional
List of tick labels. If not set, the labels show the data value.
List of tick labels. If not set, the labels are generated with
the axis tick `.Formatter`.
minor : bool, default: False
If ``False``, set the major ticks; if ``True``, the minor ticks.
**kwargs
