This is Tableau Desktop 10.1.4 for Mac. When you move a pill from the Filters shelf to the Pages shelf the page control card doesn't appear. It will appear when the page dimension is moved from almost anywhere else. This seems like a bug to me; it certainly caused me some confusion for a couple minutes.
Category moved from Dimensions or Color or almost anywhere else:

Alan,
Yes, it's gone with that sequence and difficult to find where is a button to recover.
I checked windows version 10.2, it looks that sequence issue is fixed, but difficulty to find button is the same.
To show that control box again, with windows, right-click in the area and pick "current page"
Thanks,
Shin
I don't follow what you are saying, but I'm guessing you are trying to describe how you can get the page controls to appear (or disappear) directly via a menu in a manner similar to how Show Filter exploses a filter panel.
I couldn't find any such option in my Mac version. At least now that I understand that it is a bug it is easy to just to move the pill out or to another area like Details and then move it back to Pages. I thought I would post just to document for others and hopefully get it fixed if not already.

Alan,
Yes, I think that's beneficial for others.
Thanks,
Shin
