BibTeX entry

@misc{ wiki:xxx,
author = "Wikipedia",
title = "Main Page --- Wikipedia{,} The Free Encyclopedia",
year = "2006",
url = "http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Main_Page&oldid=83331617",
note = "[Online; accessed 26-October-2006]"
}

When using the LaTeX package url (\usepackage{url} somewhere in the preamble), which tends to give much more nicely formatted web addresses, the following may be preferred:

@misc{ wiki:xxx,
author = "Wikipedia",
title = "Main Page --- Wikipedia{,} The Free Encyclopedia",
year = "2006",
url = "\url{http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Main_Page&oldid=83331617}",
note = "[Online; accessed 26-October-2006]"
}
