I think it's worth taking a look at what MaxSem has done with the GeoData extension, which is used for mobile apps, etc.: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:GeoData GeoData uses globe, as that's consistent with how coordinate templates are done now on Wikipedia. I think starting simple and consistent with GeoData and the coordinate templates is good. If no "globe" parameter is specified in the coordinate template, then Earth is assumed (and lat/long -- WGS84). For the moon, selenographic coordinates are assumed and there are other reference "globes" for other planets and moons. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selenographic_coordinate Perhaps things can get more complex later and having WGS84 coordinates wouldn't interfere with that.
