There's no way to 'mess' with them. Look in midgard-root.php3:
the sections are used, but not defined. You can override them
in the admin site and put anything you like in them.
Traditionally, code-compat is used for backwards-compatibility
code, code-global for functionality you want in every page, and
code-init to initialize the templates. But you can use them as you
like.

Type can be used as a filter with mgd_list_topic_articles. The function
reference axplains it I think. I have no idea what the ids are, either.
The extra fields have no midgard-specific purpose, you can use them
as you like.
The scoring can be used in the _list_ functions to specify in what
order you want your articles or topics returned when you fetch them.
The approved and locked fields can be set by mgd_article_toggle_lock
and mgd_approve_article. These fields can be used for workflow management
(i.e. only displaying articles that are approved, not allowing updates
if an article is locked) but you'll have to use PHP code to do anything
with them. Updating a locked article is not prohibited by Midgard,
but you can build an admin site that enforces it.
Bye,
