I suppose we could create a new category called
"Former Monuments" or
something like that to put such pictures in, since they technically no

To do this we probably need to add a new template. That takes care of
the case "WLM photo was already uploaded during a WLM competition, but
the monument has since been destroyed or torn down".
I don't see a problem with that. We can continue using the old
identifier. It would just have a note about it no longer existing.
It's just like old photos of monuments. We had some of them on WLM 2011.
And it's really nice to receive such old photos.
I don't see how newly uploaded pictures of former
monuments can be
eligible for the photograph competition unless we have unique
identifiers. Does anyone have any ideas on this? I agree with Nina
that this could be interesting from a cultural heritage standpoint. I
just don't see how we can include this in the project.

Appropiate identifiers are also a problem for existing monuments.
Sometimes they aren't given a proper one, or they just declared heritage
all castles in X region, without providing any identifier at all.
