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 = "LitWiki",
   title = "Can a sentence begin with “and” or “but”? --- LitWiki{,} ",
   year = "2013",
   url = "\url{https://litwiki.org/index.php?title=Can_a_sentence_begin_with_%E2%80%9Cand%E2%80%9D_or_%E2%80%9Cbut%E2%80%9D%3F&oldid=14037}",
