Do we have a referent list of wikis? Although it would be good to have the list of *all* Wikimedia wikis, just the list of content projects wikis would be fine.
The page Complete list of Wikimedia projects [1] is not referent at all. It's not about the fact that it is on wiki, but exactly because of possibility that anyone can add whatever he or she thinks that it should be added.
Just because of three letters code conflict between Swiss German and Albanian (als), I've realized that somebody listed Swiss German to have Wikinews edition (it is, actually, news portal at Wikipedia) and nobody bothered to remove it.
If someone knows the right place where to find the referent list of wikis, please let me know.
If such list doesn't exist, and if someone from tech staff could do something like "echo 'show databases' | mysql ...| grep "^wiki" > <some_public_file>" or so every 7 days (cron would be helpful) and give to me the location of that file, I could do the rest.

What's a "referent" list?

A referenceable one, one that for some reason is deemed trustworthy to be complete and sound.

This information is available in several places, some prettier than others, some more up to date:
CentralAuth database: * http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:SiteMatrix
Toolserver database (nightly updated) * https://wiki.toolserver.org/view/Wiki_server_assignments
Wikimedia configuration: * http://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/all.dblist
Meta-Wiki page (manually updated) * http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Complete_list_of_Wikimedia_projects

SiteMatrix doesn't use CentralAuth. It uses the all, closed, special, private, fishbowl dblist files and is therefore *always* up to date.
Wikimedia configuration:
Anything mentioned on noc.wikimedia.org/conf/ can be considered authoritative, as they're symlinks to the live configuration.
Meta-Wiki page (manually updated)
I would never trust a wiki page ;-)

We're looking, here, for the word "authoritative".
