As GeoHack still accounts for more than 25 % of Tool Labs's traffic (about 10 requests/s) and is maintained by three volunteers, I'd encourage other wikis to follow the example. (What I especially like about ruwiki's solution is the superscript "G" link that (for example) di- rectly opens Google Maps, thus if you are looking for satel- lite photographs or Street View, you can omit the middleman GeoHack/Maps.)
