Is there a Special Page (or magic word?) that displays a table of the current interwiki/interlanguage prefixes for users on a MediaWiki installation?

No.
But if you are WikiAdmin, you can install this stable extension http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SpecialInterwiki which adds a new Special Page listing all prefixes for all users and allowing to modify/add for users with special rights.

I beg to differ.

Using the API is not a "Special Page".

That's not very keen, Peachey. The response to the OP would have led the OP to believe that without modifying mediawiki there was absolutely no way to get such a list, when in fact there is.

I would like to use the opportunity to suggest that such a SpecialPage as in [1] becomes part of MediaWiki and all Wikipedias implementations.

Thanks. Yes, this sort of Special Page (even without the editing feature) would seem to be a useful standard feature for making an up-to-date listing of prefixes available to users.
And I had overlooked that users could have been pulling it from the API.
Thanks to you both, Jim

The Interwiki feature isn't really enabled used in default MW installations. Perhaps try get conseus for it to be enabled on one of the WMF wikis (for example: en.wiki), once consenus has been archieved send onto bugzilla where it will get a security reviewed, committed to WMF SVN (if its not already), security review fixes + patches fixed, and then enabled.
Once it is enabled on one and showen to be working it would be alot easier to get consenus for it to be pushed out for all WMF installs.

Are you sure about that? I thought that's how doing [[wikipedia:foo]] in default-out-the-tarball intranet wikis worked at all.

There's no default special page for it. We inject a bunch of "useful" interwiki links at installation. See ~/maintenance/interwiki.sql

Ah, I thought it'd be MediaWiki: space text or something. This is what I get for not actually looking.
