I think it is safe to assume that object with wikipedia article is important enough to be rendered.

-1. I think it is clearly an indication that either the object misses or we
don't render some other important tag (in this case historic=city_gate)
when a feature which has a wikipedia tag is not rendered. Rendering
wikipedia-objects (what special maps like the open link map already do) is
fine for special maps, but for our general map it would do more harm than
good: it will not encourage mappers to describe an object well with
suitable tags but rather content a lot of them because the feature gets
already rendered even though still missing basic formal classification.

In this particular case there are also a lot of city gates and former city
gates which don't have an article in wikipedia but still should be rendered
on the main map.

I agree with @dieterdreist: if we currently don't render an object with a Wikipedia-tag, it either means a tag is missing in the data, or we are not rendering an important tag.

I think we can close this issue.
