The solution that I went with was to create a new source - based on Basic Ancestry Database Template - called FamilySearch and I moved CreditLine, URL and ItemTitle into the variable part of the citation so that it works for different sources referenced by FamilySearch. Thanks once again for the wide variety of interesting comments. It is clearly a topic that can be resolved in many ways - which thankfully RM allows.

Their model citation for the very record you're viewing is at the bottom of the page. That doesn't mean you have to do it that way, of course! And it assumes one source per record. I prefer one source per individual database. Some might want one source for the whole of FamilySearch.
