Each of the gene infoboxes on WikiDoc display "VALUE_ERROR (nil)" at the top instead of the gene name followed by answers obtained from WikiData for each entry.

Compare ZSCAN21 on WikiDoc with ZSCAN21 on Wikipedia.

The {{Infobox_gene}} template calls Module:Infobox gene which in turn calls WikiData using local ref_url = "https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/".

The reason none of the gene inboxes work is that Module:Infobox gene here is the same as v:Module:Infobox gene on Wikiversity or Wikipedia which both work. In short, WikiDoc is outside the WikiData WMF project computers.

In order to produce functional gene Infoboxes the Module:Infobox gene needs to be re-programmed to call the original sources of the information to have it appropriately displayed.

Some changes along these lines have been introduced into the Infobox gene for Alpha-1-B glycoprotein, which is of interest to me. Constructing the Species Human Mouse table for inclusion has hit a template snag here on WikiDoc.
