Hello,

I can see some error when I’m using the Google Testing Tool :

> **[Schema Markup Testing Tool | Google Search Central  |  Google for Developers](https://developers.google.com/search/docs/appearance/structured-data?url=https%253A%252F%252Fmeta.discourse.org%252Ft%252Fwhat-do-user-trust-levels-do%252F4924)**

For what it’s worth, if you use Google Webmaster Tools on your Discourse site, you should be able to “train” it to understand the structured data. But I agree it’d be nice if it could pick everything up automatically.

Not really sure what this means or how to fix it, but this is the error

It’s saying that it doesn’t know what “position” means here.

Based on what I see, most of it is fixed, it is only complaining about the lack of `image`

There are warnings about optional fields now, nothing looks like a bug to me.
