Topic on Manual talk:How to make a MediaWiki skin
Thanks for pointing out this was missing the document
Added Manual:How to make a MediaWiki skin#Responsive skins / adding a meta viewport
"responsive": true makes a skin responsive, but does not add the meta tag, I am interested to know that.
even though it makes a skin responsive, but I need to add the viewport meta into the skin. I followed this approach earlier and found that Google Search Console marked the site with "Mobile Usability issue: Viewport not set". As a result thousand of my pages are marked with this issue.
For this reason, I mentioned the meta tag not asked to know how to make a skin responsive! Please help me to find the solution to this.

Out of interest what do you think this option is doing?

If this is not working for you, I suspect you are running an outdated version of MediaWiki. What version of MediaWiki are you running on your pages with the Google search console?

My answer is correct, I've left some pointers to code on the main branch.
Skin's have a method called isResponsive. This reads directly from the skin option you define in skin.json:

This skin option adds a viewport meta tag to the HTML. It doesn't do anything else at time of writing:

Thank you for the clarification. It is my bad that I did not cleared the cache of the page source and found that there is no meta available. Though I cleared the page cache and before checking the page source. This happened in a MediaWiki 1.37. I am sorry for this misunderstanding.
Getting the notice from the Google search console happened on a MediaWiki 1.35 wiki.
"responsive": true works. I think the SkinLabs generated skins and Example skin should have this as the default, I may add a pull request there soon.
