Exhaustive List of Ions

Has anyone found a complete list of all ions and their charges, either in print or online?

I doubt there is an exhaustive list anywhere. And if there was, then it would be so bloated as to be unusable. And frankly, if you are working with cinnimates, monochlorocyanurates or molybdate complexes then you know what you are working with.

I would be satisfied with a good list or regularly encountered inorganic ions. I am always losing track of my sulfates...
sulfide
sulfate
sulfite
bisulfate
bisulfite
metabisulfate
metabisulfite
persulfate
thiosulfate
tetrathionate
And a bunch more.

A handy quick-reference would be good if anyone has one. Good, that is until it is indelibly etched on the brain like all quick-references should be. Then it is useless.
