Running a small thing through that's been the standard for what's done for ages, but, kinda violates policy on a technicality. Spurred by seeing it added to a few pages recently; but either way sort of needs to be closed up as a loophole. If fails, then we'd go amend all the SAs.

For Wookieepedia:Sourcing#Exceptions to add:

• The website parameter of the {{Person}} infobox.

Examples: Robin Pronovost, Steve Behling, Xander Berkeley, Cherriielle, etc. all other OOU SAs to my knowledge. Just really doesn't seem necessary to cite the website to ... itself.—spookywilloww^talk 20:47, 21 July 2025 (UTC)
