As of June 2018 Google Maps requires that you use an API key. For me this means I had to embed it in my LocalSettings.php file so that Wiki Maps would work.
You don't have to pay anything or put a credit card on file, but when you hit your limit ($200 / month) then they stop delivering maps. This is fine with everything I need right now.
What you need to do
- Get an account. Now you are a developer, whoo whoo.
- Get an API key.
- Use the key.
