This isn't possible - part of the reason is that it takes too much resources from the server - and another part is that, if it were changed on the other wiki, there'd be no way to see that change on your wiki (which can make working out what happened confusing).

The only exception to this is templates on central - which can be transcluded - this, however is intended for being able to create a userpage that follows you around Wikia, and shouldn't be used for anything else. Any templates that pass parameters also won't work with this method.

My suggestion is copying the template to your wiki, attributing it to the original author.
