The way I use the words, personally, a campaign is something that is several scenarios put together. A scenario is one map with particular starting conditions and possibly special rules. Sure, scenarios could be put into 'campaigns' in the sense that they are short (I.E. one map) campaigns, but it seems somewhat misleading. The term "MP campaign" as used on the server currently refers to things like World Conquest and other campaigns in the same way we think of single player campaigns - just with more players. It is not, AFAIK, used to refer to things like survivals and even many of the games that would be described as RPGs.
Perhaps it's not worth forcing the distinction, but when thinking about how to logically organize stuff I believe it's worth considering how many tabs to have. If anything, the WML heavy scenarios would go in "single scenarios" as per your draft. My point was perhaps making the distinction between maps without WML craziness, and those that have modified the rules of Wesnoth in some way.
