Hello! Could use some advice.

My wiki uses this template on most of its pages, so I created this page layout for easier page creation. Thing is, the template is set up to automatically place pages on which it appears into certain categories, and the template appears on the page layout. We've figured out how to keep the template itself from being automatically placed into categories, but the page layout will still appear when browsing categories.

Example because I'm not certain I'm being clear:

The template includes several fields, including a "genre" field (because the wiki is a database of stories). If a page containing the template has an empty "genre" field, then that page is automatically placed into the Genre: General category. Because the page layout contains an entirely blank template, it is automatically placed into Genre: General, as well as a bunch of other categories.

So my question:

Is there a way to prevent the page layout from being placed into categories without changing the content that will appear when a new page based on the layout is created?
