On Android devices, users can use the Add to home screen function in Chrome's tools menu to pin a web page to their home screen. This also works for any website, but if no favicon is provided, a generic icon is used.

This affords the opportunity to add the talk page and special pages to the mix (like displaying the user's contributions and other display commands from Wikipedia's "special" menu).
