Description
Document the variables and arrays used within Drupal core and available to developers and users through the Drupal interface. This information would be invaluable for people trying to code PHP snippets.
vid, uid, nid, etc, etc. We need to know the variable names and structure of these arrays in order to build php, use functions or develop modules! Much too hard to find this information right now.
It would also help to document the database structure of Drupal core tables.

There's quite a bit already scattered in the handbook:

Thank you! These reference pages are a bit hard to find, but the object reference is great. Need more of the same. Also, the object reference is listed as compatible with 4.6. Has object reference stayed the same or does it need to be updated for 4.7 & 5.0?

You should check out the Devel Module. It has exactly what you are asking for.

Changed the component to reflect the new component categorization. See http://drupal.org/node/301443

I think we should also point to the API, specially: http://api.drupal.org/api/globals

Wrote a page to address this http://drupal.org/node/394206
