Do I track 'side/incidental' characters?
YES. Oh wow, yes. So many times I've realized that I need to remember who, exactly are the people who work at the shop down the street which the MCs go to, and the names of the parents of the MC's kids friends (searching a 100K document for Kid!Jim's mom's name is not something I want to have to do again).
I just keep a running list of Side Characters in a document in Scrivener. It's easy and saves so much time.
