Templating forms between protolanguages

Fragment of a discussion from User talk:Rua

It's still better than having it tagged as English, isn't it? Also, {{m}} doesn't produce the same output as '', it's not just tagging the language that matters, there's also taggin mentions.

Wait, are you saying that running text on Wiktionary is tagged as English by default? That seems like a bad idea.

Yes, it is.

I'm curious, what's the difference in effect between using {{m|[LANG]||[TERM]}} versus using {{lang|[LANG]|[TERM]}}? I've been using {{lang}} when I wish to specify the language without creating a link, but I'm happy to change if {{m}} is better somehow.
