Bookmarklet at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Bazzargh/citemark
has existed for a few years.
It's not very polished (it just adds everything it can find,
metadatawise), but I use it regularly to get the bulk of the needed
field values. It also hasn't been updated since it was written in Feb
'08, so could probably benefit from some additional
programmer-eyeballs.
I originally found it via http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_tools

Hope that helps.

Quiddity.
