I'm moving this discussion of the portal currently at wikimedia.co.uk from wikipedia-l since it was off-topic to the thread on Swedish domains:
I was sure I remembered a somewhat different version with a dozen or so language links (inc. things like Urdu)
I don't remember one like that. The UK one based on the Swiss one http://www.wikimedia.org/ch-portal/, which had 5 languages, which is why I just put in around the same number. Perhaps the list of languages at http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikimedia_UK&oldid=235867#Related_languages was what you were thinking of since that included Urdu. I hope the removal of that languages section from [[m:Wikimedia UK]] doesn't mean these are to be ignored.
