--- Comment #4 from Chris McKenna <[email protected]> ---
Useful for default would be to read from the parameters of the cite template if
provided. The following would be a useful preference order I think 
1. Lastname and Year (e.g. Smith2013)
2. Author and year (e.g. Bob Smith2013)
3. Lastname and serial number (e.g. Smith001)
4. Title (first 3 words) and year (e.g. FreddieStarrAte1986)
5. domain, underscore, page name (If only a bare url is given) (e.g.
bbc_magazine-23969607)
6. fist alphabetic string in reference (when neither a template or a url) and a
string of four digits from the reference (e.g. Jones1999)
7. fist alphabetic string in reference and a serial number (when neither a
template or a url and no sequence of four digits is present) (e.g. Brown001)
