Do we also have some

Non contributors can request articles at pages like

Access statistics are available at

find out what
they (potentially) would be interested in finding out at Wikipedia?
Not that I know of, though there is a lot of ongoing research. See

Not really. The Research Network might be the closest thing to that:
