Thanks for the explanation! There seems to be a list of all entries here:

For Wikipedia, the point is being able to fact-check claims in articles.
For example, this footnote:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sursilvan#cite_note-wikidata-5ed25969116c8c3d94b94a12bbe06f082a068bc3-v3-3
allows to verify that the claimed BCP47 language tag is indeed the one
being mentioned in the article’s infobox.
