Example:
FamilySearch has 8 individual language Wikis:
{| style= "width:35%; vertical-align:top;"| | *[https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/Main_Page English] *[https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/fr/Accueil French] *[https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/de/Hauptseite German] | *[https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/it/Pagina_principale Italian] *[https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/pt/P%C3%A1gina_principal Portuguese] *[https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/ru/%D0%97%D0%B0%D0%B3%D0%BB%D0%B0%D0%B2%D0%BD%D0%B0%D1%8F_%D1%81%D1%82%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B8%D1%86%D0%B0 Russian] | style="vertical-align:top;" | *[https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/es/P%C3%A1gina_principal Spanish] *[https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/sv/Huvudsida Swedish] |}
