Tachophobia = fear of speed
Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. Liu1126 (talk) 22:58, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
Kenophobia
[edit]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)

Aritmophobia
[edit]Could 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
[edit]Could 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)
