Some browsers are slow about updating; I think favicons may be cached
in IE, or IE is lazier about updating, etc. There's almost nothing you
can really do about it at the server end.
At the client end, try a hard refresh.

The favicon is handled by the web server where there
is a favicon.ico
file in the web root (public_html, htdocs, wwwroot
etc.). MediaWiki
doesn't touch the favicon nor try to do anything with
it.

Hi
I want have an icon in the browser's address-line
when
my wiki site being accessed. Just as the W icon
when
www.
wikipedia.com being accessed.
I did the following but won't work.
I change the icon in browser's address-line?
The wiki will output a <link> which references the
traditional /favicon.ico, at the root URL path of
your
site. (Some browsers will look there even without
the
<link>, others require it.)
If you want to use some other icon specifically for
those browsers supporting it, you can change a bit
in
/includes/Skin.php. Change the line from
'href' =>
'/favicon.ico' to 'href' =>
'/var/www/wiki/skins/monobook/favicon.ico'.
Any suggestion?
Thanks
