Is there a JavaScript snippet I can add to my

I just composed one.
// Intentionally using non-strict comparison with ==, not ===, because of
bug 52542
if ( mw.user.options.get( 'wikibase-otherprojects' ) == 0 ) {
mw.loader.using( 'mediawiki.api', function () {
var api = new mw.Api();
api.postWithToken( 'options', {
action: 'options',
optionname: 'wikibase-otherprojects',
optionvalue: 1

This can naturally be reused for other global preferences you might want
to set. Note that it will "take effect" the second time you visit a page
on a given wiki: the first page load will set the preference, and the new
value will be available after you refresh.
(If you ever want to extend it to set multiple options, the API must be
called differently – see the documentation for the 'change' parameter on
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Options#Parameters – unfortunately it's
rather clunky. I've been meaning to write a helper function for this for
some time now.)
