Currently, defaults are always considered, with URL parameters overriding them.
However, we would like to make URLs portable spatially, temporally, and interpersonally, so if urlversion=2 is specified, it should ignore defaults for hide_unselected_if_any and string_options. Instead, the de-minimis default will be "don't hide" (false or ALL, depending on type). (Others like namespace and tag already have a default of "don't hide").

[mediawiki/core@master] ChangesListSpecialPage: Add urlversion and make urlversion=2 ignore defaults
Checked in betalabs. The one of the cases for copied (bookmarked) urls between User 1 (RC filters are not enabled) and User 2 (enabled filters) described below:
User 1:
The default for RC page looks like: https://en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/Special:RecentChanges
User 2:
Recent changes preference settings:
The default url on RC page looks like the following: https://en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/Special:RecentChanges?hidebots=1&hidecategorization=1&hideWikibase=1&urlversion=2
Copying User 1 default url for RC page ( https://en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/Special:RecentChanges) will display the default for User 2 (https://en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/Special:RecentChanges?hidebots=1&hidecategorization=1&hideWikibase=1&urlversion=2)
When some options on Rc page are modified - e.g. 500 (limit=500) or/and hide registered users (&hideliu=1), the url will successfully display the correct result set when copied even between a user with enabled RC filters and a user with disabled Rc filters.
