Frances,
You don't, the Help file is in advance of reality, it's not there yet.
I'm afraid it's a copy and paste operation and there are a number of ways of

Will,
It appears to be a glitch in the software. In the Evidence Explained
QuickCheck Models which use the term Collection (and on which the Legacy
templates are based), the name of the collection appears in the full citation,
not just the bibliography/source list. See pp. 312 and 318 of EE.
