The  in-universe statement: "The Blogaveen race has blue hair and green
eyes."  can be rewritten out-of-universe as: "In Episode 17, a member
of the  Blogaveen race is portrayed as having blue hair and green
eyes." That  statement is perfectly OOU, but doesn't require anything
but the primary  source. Obviously, information about the creation of
the character would be  good, but the absence of it doesn't make the
statement  IU.


It gives it an out-of-universe perspective, which is different  than having 
out-of-universe information. Out-of-universe material is  stuff like sales 
figures, merchandise, reception, etc. Out-of-universe  perspective is how it's 
written, in addition to having sections of  out-of-universe information.
