Recently discovered, en.wiktionary.org has this goofy icon: http://en.wiktionary.org/apple-touch-icon.png Please replace it with this one, sized at 144px square to accommodate all applicable devices: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wiktionary-icon.png If multiple sizes can be uploaded and linked, I’d be glad to create optimized versions at the respective sizes.

“There is also no need to have different sizes of the logo, as iOS rescales it automatically; 144 x 144 is the suggested size for Retina display” —from the code review site (not sure if I can log in there). Since iOS is a mobile operating system, it would be thoughtful to provide files in the smaller sizes too, to reduce bandwidth costs and limits for readers. Good practice even for many non-mobile readers. Since MW can automatically resize images, I wonder if it’s possible to include meta tags that provide the appropriate URLs to take advantage of that.
There are probably a few different way to do that, one of them being to add more meta tags specifically for Apple Touch icons per documentation at <http://tiny.cc/frmpvw>. However, I decided to use the lazy way, and simply reduced the file size from 31060 bytes to 11171 — which is, I believe, quite acceptable, see [[:commons:File:Wiktionary-icon.png]]. If you think it's too much, feel free to play with the file, and request a re-upload directly on Commons.
