Picnic area is often presented instead of picnic table

[pietervdvn]

Describe the bug

When someone wants to add a picnic table, they create a new point and then search 'picnic'. The first option is a picnic area which has a picnic table icon. Many people take this, even though it is incorrect and they should take the second option:

Expected behavior

It would be better to have picnic table on top or maybe drop picnic area all together from the node presets.

https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/11101655659 is an excellent example: the changeset comment even states "added a single picnic table" (but it actually has a picnic area added)

I agree this is confusing and we should make it better.

What could we do?

• give the table a search boost to put it above the side?
• is there a way to add to the names to clarify the difference? I don't really see it. "site" already does that. We could make it "Single Picnic Table" but then "Single" is the first word…
• removing the node is not an option IMO looking at the usage
• we could split the preset and make the node version unsearchable so the search is fixed without changing the rest of the app. That is quite a bit of complexity for this issue, isn't it?
• maybe someone can create a better icon for the picnic site? Maybe with a fire next to the table?

maybe someone can create a better icon for the picnic site? Maybe with a fire next to the table?

Or with multiple tables? But it would be hard to fit given icon size.
