You are using a mediawiki wiki? This works just fine for me:

-- start WIKI text--
=Template testing=

Here is a [{{SP}}] space?

Through a template this looks like: {{Test|&#32;}}

Template template: {{Test|{{SP}}}}

Total: {{Test|{{SP}}M{{SP}}A{{SP}}}}
-- end WIKI text
-- start Result
Template testing

Here is a [ ] space?

Through a template this looks like: Hi there, how are [ ] you?

Template template: Hi there, how are [ ] you?

Total: Hi there, how are [ M A ] you?
-- end Result

Template:SP contains a single line:
&#32;
Template:Test contains a single line:
Hi there, how are [{{{1}}}] you?
