Thanks for the heads-up Philip. I tried to apply your advice to ro.wp [1] and it worked only partially: the article of the day and the news sections appear, but not the "did you know", "on this day" and the custom "comunitate" sections. Why is that?
Did you add the title attribute?
I figured that out last night with help from Brion and Mark. There was a mismatch between the docs and the actual code. See https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32596
Another question is how do I know in a template that the mobile skin is active?
Currently you don't as it occurs after the template is parsed.
I've logged this as an enhancement: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32597
It's a shame we have to go through some not-so-nice hacks to make the content for mobiles different than the one for desktops. Perhaps the architecture is too iPhone/American oriented? Not all mobile users have unlimited traffic. Many people around me disable images on mobile internet.
Hope you will give that some serious thought when the time comes.
Thanks, Strainu
