I'm wondering if there is any way anyone knows of to get one template to "detect" or "read" another's parameter, and act accordingly using an #IF parser function. I have an episode template that links to a transcript page and will say "Write transcript" if the page doesn't exist, and "Read transcript" if it exists, however, we use a header template on all the transcripts, so many which have been started have that template, with an incomplete transcript that still needs finishing. This obviously causes the #IF to read it as an existing page and say "Read." The header template has a parameter that indicates "status = incomplete" and I would really love to be able to have the "read/write transcript" parameter detect that status and make the link say "Write transcript."

Is there any way to accomplish this? I wouldn't even mind going into javascript if it must be, but would obviously prefer a template based solution to keep things simple.
