Does it expand an existing citation that someone else has created with "et al" which is the scenario here? My experience of it is that I can use it to expand an pre-existing naked URL citation (in some cases, exceptions being PDFs) but I've never seen a way to use it expand a partial citation to a more fullsome one.

So I think a specific tag to encourage the expansion of "Bloggs et al" citations to full author listings might work.
But it's easier to fix it yourself, using the citation bot: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:UCB

If the Wikipedia community is not studying its biases and designing tools and strategies for addressing them, it is not reflecting the world, but lagging behind it.
However, going back to Kerry:
In some ways, I think a better solution might be to try to get Google scholar interested in the issue of gender.
I'm not aware of studies of gender bias in Google Scholar search results themselves, yet we'd really need such basic information before going into specifics of how the research is consumed and redistributed. There is a mention of gender in https://oadoi.org/10.1017/S104909651800094 which states
Moreover, because a GS pro- file is a public signal, it can have a disproportionate effect on opinions because a person seeing it knows that others also see it (Chwe 2016).
Which seems to me an argument very similar to yours on Wikipedia.
