"interesting to map dismantled city gates as historic=city_gate"It is OK to map ruins/remmants, archeological site - but note that completely destroyed objects should NOT be mapped.typically city gates have had such a huge impact on the structure of cities that they normally persist even if there is nothing left in physical terms. The roads that once passed the gates are still the "arterial" roads, the squares are still named after the gates (typically) and the whole area often still has that name (e.g. referring here to my birth town Tübingen, where everybody would still know "Neckartor" (dismantled 1804), "Lustnauer Tor" or "Haagtor" (and 2 others, all of which non-existent physically but very existent in daily life/communication, e.g. to set up a place to meet)).
Actually we recommend to map such objects with the razed: prefix for objects that once existed but now there are only barely remnants or even indirect indications thereof. As long as there is a historical interest in them and there is a slight indication of its position we are willing to map them in the historic map.
Cheers, Zecke
