Table planet_osm_nodes missing

Hi I have a schema "gis" in my PostreSQL DB, which was created by osm2pgsql in slim mode. I was importing not all planet, just one country. It is written here https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Osm2pgsql/schema#Intermediate_tables that table planet_osm_nodes must exist.

But I don't have this intermediate tables in my "gis" schema. Ant it causes problems in installing minutely diffs.

Does anyone knows where table planet_osm_nodes should be installed from? Or, maybe, I can just create it (and sequences and smth else) somehow?
