The only other example I can think of character profiles is in comic books where there's a team of soldiers/agents/gaurdians of the galaxy and they convey that these people are well established in their craft. They did it for El Tigre when that was a thing, if you go on the Nick website (which I did as a kid). It's how I knew that Dr. Chipotle Jr.'s real name was actually Diego, something they probably mentioned once (now someone has to buy the rights to El Tigre just so they can recycle the name Dr. Chipotle and have him fight Ronald McDonald and the Carl's Jr. Star).

It's nice, but it's hardly a bible for the series and the show was good enough on its own anyway, it's just extra shit, it didn't even document everything the characters could do.
