In case someone uses Scholia as part of their research, they might want to cite a given profile, and we should provide them with a mechanism to do so, e.g. a "Cite this Scholia profile" button.
As Scholia uses information from Wikidata, Wikipedia, Commons and Wembedder and processes it in various ways, caching a given page with all its embedded and JavaScript-modified content seems difficult, though not impossible.
Some options that come to mind:
Ideally, this would work for both humans or machines, but initially, we should probably presume humans to be the main users.
Also, while we have a "How do I cite Scholia?" section in the FAQ, this might be something to reconsider in this context.
