Scoliodentosaurophobia
Hi there. I would like someone to add "Scoliodentosaurophobia", which is the fear of lizards, geckos (herpetophobia is the fear of reptiles in general, not lizards/geckos in particular). (How To Defeat The Fear Of Scoliodentosaurophobia / Fear of Lizards Revisited? --2804:2FB0:402:3600:DCE1:1E52:70B1:7170 (talk) 13:51, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
Arophobia?
I mean, Acephobia is here. Why not Arophobia, the fear/dislike of Aromantic people? Admittedly, I'm not familiar enough with the standards on here to know if I need to prove that it exists or something, but, anecdotally, I can confirm that it exists.
Maybe someone more knowledgeable than me could do whatever is necessary. I'm just making the suggestion.

Kenophobia
Kenophobia, 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)

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)
