I'm reopening. I recently downloaded F26 and had the same problem as with F25. I forgot you had provided a link here, but users shouldn't have to look for this bug report page to find system requirements and that link is broken anyway (yielding error 404).
For F26, the getfedora.org home page offers F26 and links for system requirements to <https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/index.html>, but I couldn't find the system requirements there, in the table of contents or by searching for strings. Googling didn't uncover them, either.
It's common in deciding whether to adopt a software program, before getting it, to look up whether the platform we already have will accommodate what we're thinking of getting. For example, one FOSS OS requires 4GB RAM and I bought laptops specifically for that. I don't mind other information being on the same page, but system requirements (and any other info to be included with them) should be no more than a single click from the page offering the product, and it should be that way for every product, version, edition, spin, etc. It saves us the trouble of downloading something and writing it to optical discs only to find we don't have the hardware for it.
Thanks.

[fedora-websites] Issue #722: Xfce "Download/Using/Installing" links are
broken
by Petr Bokoc

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).
