I tried to spawn in a skeleton trap by hitting horses with lightning. I did not succeed with a trident with the channeling enchanment. Neither did I succeed with the /summon command to summon lightning.
The reason why I believe this is a issue, is because I read on the Minecraft wiki that:
"Skeleton horses spawn only from "skeleton traps", when lightning strikes a horse within 4 blocks." (source)
In the history at the bottom of that page, it does never say this was added as a feature. However I believe that this was something that happened in some version, or it would not be written by someone in this wiki.

@tryashtar, I share your opinion that IF the wiki is wrong, that the wiki should fix it. But no-one yet responded wether or not this was intended or not in the game. The minecraft wiki is of high quality. I won't believe they just write bullshit. They had some reason to include this, and maybe they included it because it was a feature in the past. At this point in time it is not clear wether the game has a unknown bug or the wiki messed something up. I report this as a potential bug. I would like to find out where the error is.
Therefore, I believe resolving this as an invalid bug report is way to soon. There is no information yet to close this.
If the wiki is wrong, the wiki needs to be updated, not the game
