Every time I need to access the evermoving triple-subdomain-crossword http://deployment.wikimedia.beta.wmflabs.org and so on, I get headache. I'm sure we've had some conversation with Krinkle and others on how to make http://wmflabs.org a useful root domain with a portal or something to access *.wmflabs.org domains, but I can't find a bug for this. As a first step, I'd like a special page on labsconsole, an HTML or txt file updated by a script in whatever place, *something* to list all configured *.wmflabs.org domains, anything easy to implement soon rather than in the mysterious future and which allows to find all test wikis, services etc. on a single page (without browsing all the lists of all the projects and instances on labsconsole).

However things like http://fr.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/ won't be listed as that domain isn't "created". The registry has *.beta.wmflabs.org and beta.wmflabs.org.
FWIW, I've set up https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Labs in such a way that it'd be a viable landing page to redirect people to from https://wmflabs.org . Not a great landing page, mind you, but a reasonable first stop.
Awesome. Thanks Rob!
