Yes, but you can only do that if (1) the author uses the particular-version URL or (2) the author includes a visited-on note in the citation. It's lovely, however, that in wiki-based systems you do have this ablity, and I agree that it'd be nice to encourage its use. (Now I'm going to crawl back into my bibliographic maniac's hole and stop talking about this.)
