Just fetch the revision ID and last edit date from the API and generate the
citation yourself. The template [1] used by English Wikipedia is simply
@misc{ wiki:xxx,
author = "Wikipedia",
title = "<page name> --- Wikipedia{,} The Free Encyclopedia",
year = "<year of last edit>",
url = "\url{https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=<page
title>&oldid=<revision id>}",
note = "[Online; accessed <current date>]"
}
