The index status information IS available in MediaWiki, see: https://en.wikisource.org/w/index.php?title=Special:IndexPages Unfortunately, it is hard to use it as * it seems to be available only as this HTML special page (no API interface, no LUA interface) * if is available only for 10000 index pages and it is unclear how data is sorted (i.e. what is the characteristic of pages that exceed the 10000 limit); however it hurts only the two largest wikisources at the moment (fr with over 15600 index pages and en with over 11500) * the index status is often not up-to-date; index pages need to be purged then. In pl.ws we use this data to update index status by bot, eg. on this page: https://pl.wikisource.org/wiki/WS:Wikiprojekt_Proofread IMO, if this information is available via API or directly in wikicode, it will be more convenient to use, and maybe useful also for automatic Wikidata status update (assuming there is a link to index page there).

However, there is nothing stopping us to publish all the books that are finished and ready to be read. That is the proof of the Wikisource pudding.. So is there a Wikidata query showing all the books that are finished and ready to read. With this we can advertise, having all books makes it complete. Knowing all books that are finished is secondary.

See how it is stored here : https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Help:Badges and here an example of Wikidata query for all items about validated text : http://tinyurl.com/yaud3uoy Thad said, most of the times Wikidata is not up-to-date, and there should be a tool to take care of that instead of human being.
