The bitcoin core doxygen documentation has moved to https://doxygen.bitcoincore.org, see bitcoin-core/bitcoincore.org#681

(the old URL still works as a redirect)

ACK 41d7db0b60375533934af3e3b48043e6de944bd1 based on a short spot check.

Can a non-tool-based name a la rust's "docs" be used?

Using a tool-based name cues up an incongruity if the toolset changes or grows beyond doxygen.

SEO / bookmark wise it would be nice if deep links also redirect: e.g. https://dev.visucore.com/bitcoin/doxygen/class_c_coins_view_mem_pool.html currently goes to the main page.

This domain will only ever host doxygen. General-purpose docs would be better on the main site.

I also read SEO as "trying to maximize the number of visitors" which isn't really a point here. But it does provide a slightly better experience as long as all deep links haven't been updated yet.
Sjors commented at 7:41 PM on November 25, 2019: member

It's more about sending people to the most relevant info. If there's some outdated info with a working link, and good info with a broken link, that's not good. A tiny bit of SEO (the 301 redirects you added) fixes that.

I'll try to keep the redirect like this for the foreseeable future, but if any of you encounter the old URL anywhere, please do request it to be changed.
