Change the category in "O" to add Omphalophobia


I would like to edit this page or have someone do the editing for this. I have a friend who told me he has Omphalophobia and I would like to learn more about it. Emperor137 (talk) 17:40, 31 October 2025 (UTC)

Not done... just because you do not know the meaning of a word, is absolutely not a reason for it to be added to this list, Wikipedia is not a dictionary. If you want to write an article about the condition, or provide a reliable source that it exists and is an accepted medical condition, let us know. - Adolphus79 (talk) 17:48, 31 October 2025 (UTC)

Grammar clarification

Change may be needed for Atychiphobia's description from "Fear of failure or negative evaluations of others" to "Fear of failure or negative evaluations from others" ~2025-37282-35 (talk) 05:35, 30 November 2025 (UTC)

Basophobia Description

Change may be needed for Basophobia's description from "fear associated with astasia-abasia (fear of walking/standing erect) and a fear of falling" to "fear of falling, associated with astasia-abasia", astasia-abasia is not the fear of walking/standing upright, instead, it is a gait disorder. ~2025-37282-35 (talk) 05:54, 30 November 2025 (UTC) ~2025-37282-35 (talk) 23:53, 4 December 2025 (UTC) [1]https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37030986/
