Hi ! So today Geohack don't work few hours, once gain. It has been many times that Geohack is down these last months (and years). The previous issue was linked with the Tools labs problems (but not today, Tools Labs was working).
In addition to that maintenance problem, I don't see Geohack evolve those last years. The tool have a old design. It has different configurations for each language, so when a user do translation, he has to adapt to each configuration. Moreover, in plenty of language, Geohack have long lists of hundred links, with lot of useless links, because languages communities want to describe exhaustively web mappings service. So the presentation of Geohack is often very weighed down. For me, Geohack is the more useful tools on Tools Labs with a massive visibility for the viewers (each coordinate on WM use Geohack and there are several hundred thousands coordinates). Geohack is also use by contributors (when I translate a article with a coordinate, It's usually more practice to check coordinate in Geohack). So, I want to ask if the Foundation have a plan to improve Geohack ? I have the impression when I see https://tools.wmflabs.org that Geohack was mainly maintain by volunteer, but for me Geohack is a core item of the Wikimedia sphere. So I don't understand that situation since few years. I hope it's the place to do this comment.
