The wiki's goal is to be a comprehensive record of aesthetics and related topics, but some areas remain underrepresented. This "wishlist" identifies specific subjects where new pages are needed to expand our coverage. Contributors are strongly encouraged to create original content and provide thorough sourcing, as plagiarism has been a concern in the past and should be avoided.
