Differences between InfoboxVAX-Data source code and items displayed on page

There are a lot of (mostly wrong) items in the InfoboxVAX-Data source code that are not displayed on the page. But you find those items using the "search" function of the Wiki, which is at least irritating.

I found this on other pages before, too, but I cannot remember which pages ...

If you tell me how to correct this, I will gladly do it. Vaxorcist (talk) 11:34, 14 August 2022 (CEST)
