Errors in Google's Rich Results Examples and Documentation

Image
1. The example given for  Subscription and paywalled content says "1 valid item with warnings detected" when tested on Google's own Testing Tool . When the @type is changed from "NewsArticle" to "WebPage" , which is one of the Supported types , the Testing Tool says "No rich results detected" .  2. The example given for Fact Check , when tested similarly, says "2 valid items detected: All have warnings" . The warning is Missing Field (firstAppearance) . Update (~May 2022) The documentation for appearance and firstAppearance under Fact Check says URL or CreativeWork . Fact Check s with URL s for appearance and firstAppearance, that have been showing as valid on the Testing Tool for months, are now showing Structured Data Warnings on Search Console . They continue to show as valid on the Testing Tool . Update (Jun 2022) Fact Check s with URL s for appearance and firstAppearance , which used to show no errors
