Cleaning up tags

First off, I am a complete novice at this and anything I've learned has been through these forums and the Wiki, so my understanding of how this works is very limited.

I have two questions:

1 - Occasionally on AO3 someone will list a relationship but not include those characters in the character list.

This is one example I am currently banging my head over:
http://archiveofourown.org/works/6222439

The problem I am having with this is two-fold.
a) In these instances, I want to include those characters in my Characters column in Calibre. I've managed to split the relationship into two separate entries and both appear when I go to the Custom Columns tab, Characters entry and select Relationships, but I can't make them appear when I select Characters instead. Leaving that drop down box empty results in no data appearing at all.

Allow custom_columns_settings from personal.ini to override is selected.

b) I wish to have "Tenth Doctor" renamed to The Doctor.Tenth, but it does not work when splitting a relationship.

The relevant portions of my personal.ini:

[archiveofourown.org]
include_subject_tags: characters, status, fandoms, freeformtags, ships

[defaults]
add_to_extra_valid_entries:mycharacters,mytags,mys tatus
include_in_mycharacters:characters,ships
custom_columns_settings:
mycharacters=>#characters
replace_metadata:
ships=>(.*)[/&](.*)=>\1 \, \2
^Tenth Doctor$=>The Doctor.Tenth


2 - I'd like to remove one category if another one appears. In other words, if the freeformtags include "Alternate Universe.Human", I would like to remove the redundant tag "Alternate Universe" if it also exists.


Thank you all, I can't imagine where I'd be with this if I hadn't had your help up to this point.
