they want faster updates for their language.

I guess I'll have to make this more public....
After reading it I still don't know what do you need/how to provide it :/
I have been poking WikiMiniAtlas and filed several related bugs, though.
And when
WikiMiniAtlas is invoked from an article, such as
Grängesberg, the call to the toolserver (that fetches the map
tiles) could perhaps be used for updating the coordinate for that
article. We can be pretty sure that those who update a coordinate
will pop up the WikiMiniAtlas to see they made no mistake.
Yeah, that's not a
bad idea. I even used to have a Javascript gadget that sent
the data to the toolserver, whenever a coordinate in an article was updated.
In any case, the red dot, is generated on the the client side and will always
use the most up to date coordinates.

Doing that automatically on requests would allow anyone to
subrepticiously change all coordinates. What you could do is make the
requests with a different coordinate to trigger an update for that page.
