That is the gist of it, yes. If, contrary to expectations, Google sunsets goo.gl maps links we will still have time to revisit this.

So in your opinion there is nothing to do and everything goes well? Really, for me it easy very easy not to do anything. :-)

The intended audience of the announcement on the Google Developer Blog[3], which made the news recently, are "developers using links built with the Google URL Shortener in the form https://goo.gl/*". I assume that links given out by Google itself are not affected. To this day Google Maps links are given out using the goo.gl domain and it seems highly unlikely that Google will turn those off any time soon. They are using a different scheme nowadays (maps.apps.goo.gl vs. goo.gl/maps/) but I think it is very likely that old-style links will continue to work for the foreseeable future as well.

"Starting August 23, 2024, goo.gl links will start displaying an interstitial page for a percentage of existing links notifying your users that the link will no longer be supported after August 25th, 2025 prior to navigating to the original target page." In the next year the goo.gl links may cause problems, while as of August 25th, 2025 they cease working. Do you think this issue needs any central action? Of course, it may be handled locally, but not every wiki has bot owners for that. At least a global warning would be useful for communities.
My idea is to install an abuse filter that warns users to avoid new goo.gl links, and change the existing ones by bot.
