It's not that bad, really, because many of these have checked the 
character and another box or two that, taken together, identify the 
real subject of discussion. For example, one post might have two 
checks: Snape and the Dark Mark. As long as we can search the finished 
product by multiple categories, any user who wants to look up posts on 
Snape's Dark Mark will find that one.

This does call into question whether we have all of the appropriate 
subcategories listed *somewhere*, though.

Not much of a FILKer myself. (Of course, now that I've said it the 
demon of irony has probably plotted a course for me through 
neverending FILKs in my next allocation.) But if Caius does these 
well, and most make no new canon points, then why isn't FILK a reject 
category?
