Kenophobia
editKenophobia, the fear of empty spaces (like big warehouses or such). A page for this fear already (sorta) exists, under the term “horror vacui”, which is mainly used to refer to the art style.
I feel like this would be an appropriate addition to this list, especially compared to the only other “K” phobia (the fear of buttons). 72.177.104.148 (talk) 03:13, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
- Yeah, the K section feels lonely. 115.64.29.169 (talk) 12:16, 24 September 2024 (UTC)

Correct spelling from “triakaidekaphobia” to “triskaidekaphobia” wherever it occurs. 73.153.162.212 (talk) 04:24, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
Not done: The only occurrence appears to be in the lead, and that's in a quote in which the cited source does write triakaidekaphobia. Cannolis (talk) 04:34, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

Aritmophobia
editCould you please add arithmophobia? It means: Fear of numbers. It really exists. 2001:4456:C7F:EF00:9061:DDFC:B88A:4496 (talk) 09:56, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
Episcophobia
editCould someone add episcophobia? It means: Fear of bishops. It actually does exist since Queen Victoria was known to have suffered from it when she was a child. Just as well she got over it when she was crowned, or her coronation would have been even sillier than it already was. Visokor (talk) 09:59, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
Koinophobia
editKoinophobia is the fear of living an ordinary life or being ordinary/average. This is from a few Google searches and I find it very interesting. It's apparently quite rare. I'm only suggesting this because I found it randomly, sorry if these aren't good sources. https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/22395-koinoniphobia, https://ineffableliving.com/overcome-koinophobia-the-fear-of-being-ordinary/ (also i have an oc with this phobia lol) 115.64.29.169 (talk) 12:15, 24 September 2024 (UTC)

ARFID and orthorexia should be referenced as not ALL "eating disorders" are "Anorexia nervosa." 174.89.28.98 (talk) 16:14, 24 October 2024 (UTC)
Muneraphobia
editMuneraphobia is the fear of thinking about or seeing internal organs or bodily functions. 'Munera' means 'function' in Latin. 139.130.155.226 (talk) 01:57, 6 November 2024 (UTC)
- Generally the existence of an article will guarantee inclusion in the list but Muneraphobia doesn't exist yet. A quick Google search reveals the term was self-coined by a reddit user. We need reliable sources to base a list entry on. Feel free to provide some. Commander Keane (talk) 02:08, 6 November 2024 (UTC)
