The template can be placed in different locations and, depending on what is required, the parameters can be mixed and matched:

Location Parameters Example Notes
References section {{Cite Cambridge History of China}} Fairbank, John K.; Twitchett, Denis, eds. (1978–2020). The Cambridge History of China. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press. Basic reference format, suitable when referencing multiple entries from the same work. For inline referencing, use {{sfn|Fairbank|Twitchett|1960–2005}}, or add the |ref= parameter in the citation with a suitable reference name, e.g. |ref={{harvid|Cambridge History of China}}, so that the inline reference becomes {{sfn|Cambridge History of China}}}}
References section or inline citation {{Cite Cambridge History of China|volume= |chapter= |pages= |first= |last= |authorlink= |chapterurl= }} Wright, Arthur F. (1979). "The Sui Dynasty (581–617)". In Twitchett, Dennis (ed.). The Cambridge History of China, Volume 3: Sui and T'ang China, 589–906 AD, Part 1. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press. pp. 48–149. ISBN 978-0-521-21446-9. Some additional information: entry title; url to the chapter start in Google Books; the first and last names of the author of the article; and the page numbers of the chapter. Volume number automatically fills the rest of the reference with the relevant data such as editors, publication year, isbn, etc. For inline referencing, use the author last name(s), e.g. {{sfn|Wright|1979|p=50}}

This template is wrapper around {{cite book}}. In its default mode it attributes text to a chapter or page from the Cambridge History of China.

This template automatically sets some of the parameters passed into {{cite book}}. Over and above the standard parameter passed into {{cite book}} there are some additional parameters and those are listed below in a separate table from the table of parameters passed into {{cite book}}.

Minimum is: {{Cite Cambridge History of China}}

Typical full set is:{{Cite Cambridge History of China|volume=|chapter=|pages=|last=|first=|authorlink=|chapterurl=}}

This template will accept almost all of the same parameters that a native {{cite book}} template will accept. Some parameters have special use or are preset to appropriate values. Preset template parameters may be overridden in the template call and may also be disabled by setting the parameter value to unset.
