I don't know if this is true for characters since I'm working primarily in deities atm, but something I noticed is that the "family" category for my characters doesn't show up on the list. It's there when I go to edit the page but not when I'm just viewing it. I think it might have something to do with the fact that nothing is written in that category since I'm only using the "link parent, link child, etc." drop down option, but I don't remember this being an issue before.
