In each of these templates, the parameters <code>pages</code> and <code>pages</code> are available to indicate the relevant pages for a specific citation (the "p." and "pp" prefixes are added automatically).  These citation templates all piggyback off {{tl|cite book}}, so adding other as yet unused parameters from the base template is a simple matter.
