I am also a bit confused about what you are asking, particularly with
regards to the word thesis.
Are you asking for a list of possible student assignments regarding
Wikipedia? As in - topics they can write about? On Wikipedia? About
Wikipedia?

Hi,
The last year Wikimedia Sverige has deepened the cooperation with a
number of universities in Sweden and we have recently started
providing them with research assignment for students' thesis work (to
work on for either during 10 weeks (Bachelor) or 20 weeks (Master)).
As a small pilot I gave a presentation about this a couple of weeks
ago and we have seen a great interest in this opportunity from staff
and student - with around 10 students (out of ~300) deciding to do
their thesis work about our movement and projects next year!
I was wondering if there is a list of possible thesis assignments
compiled somewhere (of course many different structures for thesis
work exist - but anything would help)? Wewould especially like more
ideas regarding /technical assignments/that the students could do -
and investigate the effect from - during their thesis course. I.e. not
just the Phabricator/Bugzilla bugs, but something a bit more
comprehensive and structured. Is there anything out there? (Kind of
like GSoC <https://developers.google.com/open-source/soc/?csw=1>- but
during the semesters.)
If no such resource exists - and if more people/chapters/WMF would
find this approach of involving universities interesting - perhaps we
could create the necessary structures for this in the future?
PS. Wiki Education Foundation do not have one - I already asked.
Best,
John
