Actually, here's one potential solution to both that issue, and Shabook's concern about Category:Marvel Staff/s appearing in "Wanted categories" over 2000 times:

Instead of using  to determine how and which categories to link to, create a   or whatever that's basically one giant switch statement:

Down sides: Up sides:
 * Every valid categorizable role (I'm going to use that term because "title" can be confusing on a comics wiki) would have to be listed out explicitly in the code. That could be a very long list.
 * Adding a new role would no longer be as simple as creating the category. The template would have to be updated as well, for it to be recognized and used.
 * No more expensive  tests, when generating those infoboxes.
 * No side-effect breakage like what we saw with Category:Marvel Staff/s.
 * Categorization of roles — in fact, their handling in general — becomes predictable, instead of magical.
