Hi, I noticed that the pages here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Academic_studies_about_Wikipedia and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Academic_studies_of_Wikipedia

...don't have any 2015 or 2016 articles. Naturally, such articles do exist (30,400 hits for "Wikipedia" since 2015 on Google Scholar).

Indeed, given the quantity and diversity of material, keeping track of it might require an entire meta-wikipedia ;-? However the materials at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Research don't seem to provide a very comprehensive guide to existing literature.

I assume some researchers are keeping track of some facets of recent work in this area: are you archiving e.g. BibTeX files somewhere? Could these be shared/curated in a wiki-like way?

There is a very limited list (indeed, just one entry from 2013), here: https://zenodo.org/collection/user-wikimedia

... So that's probably not where the action is at the moment!

For comparison, there is a nice (but not terribly long) crowdsourced index of papers using Stack Exchange data here; this looks reasonably up to date:
