I'm working with a wiki template that sets a property using "#set":

{{#set:Is foo=Y}}

Is there a way to access the value of that property within the template or within a document using that template? I've tried {{{Is foo}}}, but that only works with document params. The broader context is that I need to ensure that documents currently missing that property have a default applied, along the lines of:

{{#if:{{{Is foo|}}}{{{Is foo|}}}|{{#set:Is foo=N}}

I think wha you want is a template {{Some template}} defined thus:

{{#set:Is foo={{{foo|default value for Is foo}}}}}

The template is called like this: {{Some template|foo=Non-default value for Is foo}} or {{Some template}} (will set the default value).
