WARNING: This work around is only compatible with >= v5.4.0
Tiddler: $:/plugins/sq/streams/nodes-list-template
As a workaround can be changed to:
\import [[$:/plugins/sq/streams/action-macros]] [all[shadows+tiddlers]tag[$:/tags/streams/actionmacros]] [all[shadows+tiddlers]tag[$:/tags/streams/user-actionmacros]]
\whitespace trim
