I'd advise against copying the cite journal code from Wikipedia, it's almost certenly too complex for what you want to do, and has a whole bunch of other templates it needs in order to work. You can have a look at the code if you want to copy it - but I'd recommend you don't.

You can't automatically say "if this isn't on my wiki, go to Wikipedia" without some template magic on every single link, but what you can do is link link name if you don't think your wiki is likely to cover it.
