- WebPage (canonical URL, language, dates)
- FAQPage (when FAQ entries exist)
- HowTo with HowToStep (when steps exist)
- BreadcrumbList (Home > Videos > Creator > Video)

Crawling Notes

Citation Best Practices
- Prefer citing the specific video page URL for quotes, steps, and facts
- Use the transcript section for exact wording and direct quotes
- Reference the markdown version (/{username}/{slug}.md) for structured plain-text extraction
- Each section has an anchor ID for deep linking (e.g., /{username}/{slug}#transcript)
- Author attribution is available on every video page
