Bug report
Bug summary
In "API Changes - Behavior changes" (https://matplotlib.org/api/api_changes.html#behavior-changes ) it says
"mplot3d auto-registration
mpl_toolkits.mplot3d is always registered by default now. It is no longer necessary to import mplot3d to create 3d axes with
ax = fig.add_subplot(111, projection="3d")"
I am not seeing this behaviour.
Code for reproduction

fig3 = plt .figure ()
ax3 = fig3 .add_subplot (111 , projection = '3d' )and
