TBH, the most convenient way to check pinout is simply type the appropriate transistor ID followed by "pinout" into your browser and hit enter. In time, Google for example, will focus on your search pattern and learn what to find in seconds flat. However, there are quite a number of reversed pinout, Prolectron classified transistors out there - often substituted by US types, so watch out for these because no table is going to say what they really are - only what they should be if they are original spec. products.
Now that the through-hole era has come to an end for popular small-signal transistors, many of us depend on China or other sources of re-marked and substitute semis for the DIY and after-market demand. Maybe that's OK for your purposes but be aware that their datasheets are likely to be generic. i.e. they cover a range of substitute types from multiple producers which are labelled according to demand. e.g "Savant IC" datasheets. Don't assume anything in those is factual regarding the corresponding products.

I should add that if you don't yet possess the transistors, you obviously need to buy or obtain them some other way before you can test pinout. If you happen to be laying out a PCB, that can mean a long wait and a waste of money before you finalise it so its better to plan in advance, assuming you can do this if with the specific info available. That's where forums can be helpful.
