Script Summary: Create a Wikipedia citation from BBC Website and BBC News pages.
Creates a standard {{cite news}} or {{cite web}} template depending on the website address. The script has a best guess at fields using available meta-data, marked by-lines and may also revert to using the web page title. The BBC is slightly inconsistent but the script makes several intelligent changes and this seems to work sufficiently well for almost all article style news and web pages that would be relevant for a Wikipedia citation.
23 Oct 2009 update: Enhance ref and layout buttons and add BBC standard width to cite box.
2 Nov 2009 update: Better dates in line with style guidelines.
You may find the similar scripts for The Times, The New York Times and Wired of interest.
