Description

On nl-wiki many articles have in the top right corner coordinates with next to it a link (Kaart) to expand a map. (Like on Amsterdam in the right top corner.)

A user reported for Haava (Võru) that the pink polygon on the expanding map is from the wrong town (it shows the polygon of Haava-Tsäpsi) and that the actual town is over 35 kilometers from the pink polygon. The coordinates in the Wikipedia article and in Wikidata are right, still the map shows the wrong polygon.

A user reports that the map is running on an very old OpenStreetmap dump on the servers of Wikimedia which needs to be updated. Can this old OSM dump be updated?

@Romaine: It's unclear to me *where* to see some problem.
Please follow https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_report_a_bug and provide clearer steps which allow someone else to see the same problem.

How https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amsterdam looks here:

Apparently the last update happened at the time when Wikidata item of Haava-Tsäpsi was linked to "Haava (Võru)" on nl.wikipedia (see diff). There is T158575 about WIWOSM not being updated.

Edit: @Aklapper, "(Kaart)" link is added by a gadget (enabled by default). Possibly you have disabled it?

The gadget uses URL that is dependent on Wikipedia article titles (apparently those available when database got updated):
https://tools.wmflabs.org/wiwosm/osm-on-ol/kml-on-ol.php?lang=nl&title=Haava_(Võru)

I haven't tested, but in the meantime, without WIWOSM database being updated, on nl.wikipedia you might benefit from reconfiguring the gadget, so that instead it used language-independent URL which in this case gives a different result:
https://tools.wmflabs.org/wiwosm/osm-on-ol/kml-on-ol.php?lang=wikidata&title=Q3457278
