Hi Angelika; Diversity and bias are interesting topics for me. I compiled some information about that some weeks ago.[1][2]
I have read RENDER meta: page and I understood that it is focused on biased articles mainly, right? What about uncovered topics (red links/missing articles), for example African biographies on English Wikipedia? That biases may be bigger and hidden. I have experience in developing scripts for wiki projects. I would be glad to help if needed.
