UPDATE:

Instead of fixing the "WikiInclude" in the repo (or at least leave the
ticket open, thus a developer can do it), Mr. Noah Kantrowitz goes his
very special way (hint: his nick "coderanger") to suggest to use the
"IncludeMacro":

"This plugin uses the older style trac_plugin.txt file. If you need
something more 0.11 compatible, try the IncludeMacro."
http://trac-hacks.org/ticket/2294#comment:1

This is of course completely nonsense. I don't want to use the complex
and buggy "IncludeMacro". The "WikiInclude" can be corrected with just
one line.

But ok, let's take a at Mr. Noah Kantrowitz creation, the
"IncludeMacro". Does it work with 0.11? He does not know, thus he
asks:

"What about the current version doesn't work in 0.11?"
http://trac-hacks.org/ticket/2310#comment:3

who received this question? A user, which has provided a 0.11
implementation of the plugin:

"
*  summary changed from [patch] 0.11 patch to 0.11 version of
IncludeMacro.

Well, there's certainly no need to get snippy over semantics ;)

There wasn't a version of IncludeMacro for 0.11, so I created one in
the hopes that other Trac admins might find it useful -- humblest
apologies for erroneously referring to my submission as a "patch".
Having said that, if you feel so inclined as to review my version,
then that would be superb, as I'm sure potential future users would
feel much better if my contribution had your blessing and/or fixes.
"
http://trac-hacks.org/ticket/2310#comment:2

Other tickets remain completely unprocessed, although they give an
answer to his question "does it work on 0.11":

"The macros.py of Includewikimacro contain : macro = WikiProcessor?
(self.env, 'Include') for the rendering of the wiki page. Whereas now
with the version 0.11, the function WikiProcessor?() nead a formatter
as first argument and not anymore an environment."
08/27/07 05:13:21 changed by sibok@tis***.fr
http://trac-hacks.org/ticket/1973

Mr. Noah Kantrowitz does not care about the trac users, otherwise he
would update the svn of the WikiInclude macro and the documentation to
inform users, instead of violently closing a valid ticket as an
invalid one.

A few more wild-west CODERANGERS like Noah Kantrowitz can ruine the
already very slow progress of the trac-project completely.

User comments and user feedback is critical for any open-source
project. Engouraging contributions, instead of surpressing them is
essential.

Trac-Users, please do not accept such a surpressive behaviour - it
costs your time.

(btw: I am a 0.11dev user, see http://dev.lazaridis.com/base/wiki)
