All of the user documentation now lives under https://guide.riot-os.org.
Progress was tracked under:

So I changed the link to the documentation to the guides site, which contains the most useful documentation for beginners.
The API-Documentation (doxygen) is linked there very prominently as well, so it is still easy to discover.

Furthermore some links pointed to outdated user documentation that just shows an empty deprecated page. I updated these to the guide documentation counterparts as well.

I don't think we should totally kill the reference to the Doxygen documentation just yet.

So you suggest to wait for RIOT-OS/RIOT#21708 to land first?

We could add a "API Documentation" or "Doxygen Docs" or similar.

Maybe now rename the old documentation link "Guides" or "User Guides" or "User/Developer Guides" (I prefer the first actually)? It looks weird now that the one link says "Documentation" and the other "API Documentation", and I think with other FOSS projects they usually use the same pattern.

Okay I have now renamed the link to the new guides to Guides, while still calling the doxygen one API Documentation so it more clear what is what
