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.
