Federico, my appologies from not seeing it earlier. GeoHack (which is what uses maps from ruwiki), pulls templates and javascript from ruwiki, and uses it to show the map. So for example, when you click on the geo coordinates in the upper right corner of this article:

https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%97%D0%B0%D0%BB%D1%8C%D1%86%D0%B1%D1%83%D1%80%D0%B3

it takes you to this link:

https://tools.wmflabs.org/geohack/geohack.php?language=ru&pagename=%D0%97%D0%B0%D0%BB%D1%8C%D1%86%D0%B1%D1%83%D1%80%D0%B3&params=47_48_0_N_13_2_0_E_type:city_scale:100000

From looking over what Putnik has done, geohack was modified via two pages:

* https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%A8%D0%B0%D0%B1%D0%BB%D0%BE%D0%BD:GeoTemplate

* https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:GeoHack.js

Eventually I am hoping that we won't need to use this complicated approach, once Kartographer is implemented

https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Kartographer For now, map tiles only work if requested from the *.wmflabs.org and *.wikivoyage.org domains.

Since several days ago, I'm struggling to find any URL or action on ru.wiki from which I can see or load maps.wikimedia.org. Yet, some claim that maps.wikimedia.org is used on the Russian Wikipedia.

Please help: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:Scrum_of_scrums/2015-12-02
