The field of Wikidata and Wikipedia research is moving towards a deeper understanding of content gaps, quality, and influence on the web. Recent studies have focused on characterizing Wikipedia linking across the web, measuring content gaps in Wikidata, and comparing Wikipedia language editions. A key direction in this field is the analysis of Wikipedia's role beyond its own platform, including its use as a background knowledge provider and its impact on the web. Another important area of research is the investigation of content gaps in Wikidata, including the development of theoretical frameworks and typologies to conceptualize and measure these gaps. Noteworthy papers include:

• Web2Wiki, which presents a large-scale analysis of Wikipedia links across the web, highlighting their distribution, context, and function.
• Filling in the Blanks, which proposes a theoretical framework for measuring WikiData content gaps and identifies overlooked gaps that might occur in Wikidata.
