Description

For some advanced usecases, users may want to disable the compact language links feature. Although it is possible to disable it on individual wikis, for some activities requiring to process many wikis it may be convenient to be able to do it globally.

Since this is a really advanced scenario (and global settings are not available yet) it may be enough to provide an example Javascript code for the user to add at global.js

new mw.Api().saveOption('compact-language-links', 0 );

Will do it. Make sure to load the required ResourceLoader modules and execute only after page ready. The effect will be visible only after page reload.

NOTE: This is hack and assumes whoever doing this know what they are doing.
