Since this wiki supports multiple conference websites it is convenient to place generic conference page URLs throughout the wiki without duplicating these URLs for each individual conference. This page describes a feature of the conference website where the wiki can contain a generic page reference and the user is allowed to set a conference that they would like to be able to jump to directly from the wiki. The generic page reference always points at https://neurips.cc/trampoline[1].
The first time that a user clicks on a generic page reference their browser is redirected to a page where they can select their current preferred conference website. After this site is selected all future generic page links will be automatically redirected to the preferred website. See the next section on how to change your preferred website.
Go to https://neurips.cc/trampoline/set-domain to set your current preferred conference.
For example the generic page reference https://neurips.cc/trampoline?path=/Help/Contact sends a user to the Contact page on their preferred conference website. So this example URL effectively points at the following five different possible URLs:
Which URL is actually selected is based on the user's preferred conference website. And since a user can change their preferred website: one time the generic page reference can go to one website and at another time go to a different website if the user changes their preferred conference.
If you are writing a wiki page and would like to use a trampoline URL you can create a new URL in the form https://neurips.cc/trampoline?path={{path}} where {{path}} is the path in a conference website.
You can also convert any conference website URL to a trampoline URL by entering the URL on this page.
The NeurIPS website was arbitrarily chosen as the site to host the trampoline for all the conference websites. It could be any website but it must be a single fixed website across all the conference websites in order for the cookies and session variables to work correctly. The ultimate path for redirection is a query parameter passed to the /trampoline page. ↩︎
