Jkoeslag~enwiktionary
The rule of thumb is: no phobias. Most are merely creative inventions with no actual use. If you do wish to enter a phobia, please make sure you include at least three citations of the word in use, in running text, spanning at least a year from print sources (e.g. books.google.com.)

Here are a few uses of the word "koinophilia" on the internet:
Koinophilia by Richard Fein. Beauty is not in the eye of the beholder; it's in the eyes of a hundred beholders. Helen's face did not launch a thousand ships, but the thousand faces of Helen can launch any ship.

Koinophilia provides a simple and obvious explanation for the evolutionary stability of all forms of cooperative behavior, including the observance of rituals and conventions. Since, by definition, fit traits replace less fit traits, each fit trait tends to become more common, and ultimately the dominant phenotype, while the maladaptive traits become increasingly rare. Sexual creatures would therefore be expected to prefer mates sporting predominantly common features, while avoiding mates with unusual or unfamiliar attributes. This is termed koinophilia[8]. It causes common features to become more common still, and at a rate that exceeds that which would be driven by natural selection alone. Since it affects the entire external phenotype, it will include behavior.

A strong indicator of physical beauty is "averageness", or "koinophilia". When images of human faces are averaged together to form a composite image, they become progressively closer to the "ideal" image and are perceived as more attractive. This was first noticed in 1883, when Francis Galton, cousin of Charles Darwin, overlayed photographic composite images of the faces of vegetarians and criminals to see if there was a typical facial appearance for each. When doing this, he noticed that the composite images were more attractive compared to any of the individual images.

Your account will be renamed
editHello,
The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.
Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Jkoeslag. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Jkoeslag~enwiktionary that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.
Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation
