Normally, we only list characters who have pages and those who are named, even if they only appear once. What you said you did, is correct, because we don't want the appearance list cluttered with "unnamed civilians" or "unknown criminals".

The Missing Characters template is there because nobody has made sure that all characters, locations and items are listed. Once an editor makes sure there is nothing else missing from the list, the template should be removed.
