Policy on new content wrt {{lang}} ?

I am intending to add English text to an existing table. That table contains a mix of {{lang}} and {{common string}}. Is there a policy or convention on this? When I replace the {{common string}}, should I

1) just type in my text

or

2) do this:
{{lang
| en = my text
}}

The table has a lot of "unknown", but wherever {{lang}} is used, that template is well populated. Which way is best? Which will best prompt translators to do their translating? (I have some experience with wikipedia, but new to TF2 wiki, and can only make guesses at reading German or Spanish ) Mikado282 (talk) 09:19, 18 January 2014 (PST)
