Is this lesson basically telling us to memorize these select phrases? Because it doesn't tell us when else to use imperative subjunctive. How can we know?

Are these the only cases of imperative subjunctive meaning we should memorize this list?
This question relates to:French lesson "Conjugate irregular être/avoir/savoir in the imperative mood in French (L'Impératif)"
Asked 5 years ago
Hi Danielle, Maarten and Chris,
Thank you for your input, the lesson on 'vouloir' in the imperative was in draft form and has now been published -
Conjugate vouloir in L'Impératif (imperative)
Bonne Continuation!

The attached covers the imperative conjugations - the only other verb that has “irregular” imperative forms (that is, not directly deducible from the present tense form) is vouloir.

It wouldn't be a bad idea to include that in the lesson as well and have a complete list. Vouloir is used frequently in that form: veuillez patienter (and derivatives).
