SMW is skin agnostic and doesn't distinguish between skins as long as
standard core hooks are provided. It has been observed in the past
that some skins do not implement all hooks that are available in MW
core, for example [0] shows a case where a specific skin is the reason
why SMW is unable to support some functionality.

This page has an image to help users realize how the tab/action should
appear, if that doesn't happen then something is wrong with your
installation, another extension is blocking or occupying the tab
action, or the user has not enough rights [1] to perform this action.
Since [2] the technical implementation has changed in MW and so in SMW
which now requires JS to be enabled to make sure POST requests work
similar to that what as a GET action before MW 1.28.
