This isn't going to be trivial to fix. Here's what the problems are:

* Only three guides have been converted: Release Notes, Installation Guide, and System Administrator's Guide. AFAIK, at the moment there are no plans to convert anything else. This makes links to any *not* converted documents easy to fix, just replace https://docs.fedoraproject.org/ with https://docs-old.fedoraproject.org/, the paths are the same.

* The three converted guides live under new paths which aren't completely consistent: Release Notes went from `Release_Notes/` to `release-notes/`, System Administrator's Guide from `System_Administrators_Guide/` to `system-administrators-guide/`, BUT Install Guide went from `Installation_Guide/` to `install-guide`. That's still not too bad.

* The bad news is that the three converted guides also now have different paging rules, so links that went to specific chapters or sections may or may not work anymore - they could have been generated as anchors instead. To use a made-up but realistic example, a link that previously went to `Installation_Guide/Downloading_Media.html` may or may not need to point to something like `install-guide/Introduction.html#Downloading_Media`.

* Another issue is that we broke "latest" redirects. Some places (e.g. getfedora) used URLs to point to the latest published version of a certain book. I know of two: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes and https://docs.fedoraproject.org/install-guide. Those are now broken (the 404 error again); if you change them to https://docs-old.fedoraproject.org/release-notes, they're still partially broken (no 404, but you land at the front page of the old docs site, not on the front page of the specific book).

* Speaking of redirects, it would be really nice if we could get those for the old site; if anyone accesses a F25 or earlier book, they should be redirected from docs.fp.o to docs-old.fp.o. Again, the paths are all the same. This would fix both the first problem I mentioned as well as any links on pages outside our control. Ideally we could combine this with a banner warning about (potentially) outdated content and pointing to the new site, but that's probably something the docs project should be handling; I opened an issue for this [here](https://pagure.io/docs-fp-o/issue/35).
