The wiki page does have the software properties method documented:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed

I don't have software-properties-gtk installed (and until now didn't
know the name of the command to launch it), so apt-add-repository was my
first attempt.

Thanks

Title:
  make it easy to add proposed; help text outdated

Status in software-properties package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Adding -proposed should be as easy as running:

  sudo add-apt-repository proposed

  But this doesn't work:
  $ sudo add-apt-repository proposed
  Error: 'proposed' invalid

  It'd be nice if add-apt-repository could work for all of:

  - adding main
  - adding restricted
  - adding universe
  - adding multiverse
  - adding partners

  - adding proposed
  - adding security
  - adding universe

  Thanks
