This is the closet article I know about it. It doesn't talk about "vandalism" per se but it does look at levels of reverts and compares them to levels in Wikipedia. I think it's actually pretty close to what you are looking for: Kittur, Aniket, and Robert E. Kraut. “Beyond Wikipedia: Coordination and Conflict in Online Production Groups.” In Proceedings of the 2010 ACM Conference on Computer Supported Cooperative Work, 215–24. Savannah, Georgia, USA: ACM, 2010. doi:10.1145/1718918.1718959. > Wikia (the largest wiki farm?) appears to be drastically > under-researched... I agree with this completely! art of the reason that there is so much research about Wikipedia is that the WMF goes to incredible length to make things easy for researchers with providing datasets, etc. Basically everybody else, including Wikia, does less.
