Stigmergic Coordination in Wikipedia - scientific work related to Wikipedia quality published in 2018, written by Amira Rezgui and Kevin Crowston.

Overview

Authors look for evidence of stigmergic coordination (i.e., coordination mediated by changes to a shared work product) in the context of Wikipedia. Using a novel approach to identifying edits to the same part of a Wikipedia article, authors show that a majority of edits to two example articles are not associated with discussion on the article Talk page, suggesting the possibility of stigmergic coordination. However, discussion does seem to be related to article quality, suggesting the limits to this approach to coordination.
