Yea, I don't think there's a way to view or edit it, and it hasn't  
turned out to be very necessary, so might as well ditch it for now.

This was there from when I had integrated phpwiki with the accounts  
system. If you plan on tying moin moin in, it would be worth thinking  
about how you are going to do it and what columns might be needed to  
support that...

Also a neat tool I came across today that might help people to figure  
out the schema a bit more easily:
