I realise this is not exactly news, but when replacing Ask Fedora, was
there a reason to break all the links on the entire web to existing

links to the "old" site?
It seems like finally as Fedora was building up a body of useful
"ask"-type content and get traction on search engines (= searching for
things not only leading to results about Ubuntu), we wiped the slate
clean.
As it is now, whenever I (as a Fedora user) search for something, I
still frequently end up at a dead end on a 404 page on
ask.fedoraproject.org. There isn't even a *link* to the corresponding
page on askbot.fedoraproject.org - surely that, at least, is something
we could do? (yes, I realise one just has to add "bot" to the hostname,
but that's not the point - not everyone will either realise that, or
bother, and it's trivial to do when generating the error page)
This is very much needed but apparently, the effort got stalled:
https://pagure.io/fedora-websites/issue/953
https://ask.fedoraproject.org/t/updating-the-404-template-to-mention-the-move-to-discourse/407/6
It didn't stall, it was fixed long ago. The 404 page now says:
"Welcome to the new AskFedora! Sorry, we couldn't find that page. If you
are looking for the older platform, it is archived at
askbot.fedoraproject.org.
IMHO It should give the useres the new full link.
If that would not be possible, maybe it could read:
"Oh no, this page is not here. Try replacing ask.fedoraproject.org with
askbot.fedoraproject.org to get archived content of this page."
