In the Wikipedia article there are:

+ Bounds Check Bypass (Spectre, Variant 1)
+ Branch Target Injection (Spectre, Variant 2)
+ Rogue Data Cache Load (Meltdown, Variant 3)
- Rogue System Register Read (Spectre-NG, Variant 3a)
+ Speculative Store Bypass (Spectre-NG, Variant 4)
- Lazy FP state restore (Spectre-NG)
- Bounds Check Bypass Store (Spectre-NG)
+ Foreshadow
- Spoiler
+ Microarchitectural Data Sampling

I have marked with '+' those which I recognize in the list you provided
and with '-' those which are not.

Why do you say that? In your list only L1TF and MDS are not subclasses,
i.e. subclasses are in the list. So why not have the others? Also
Spoiler seems to be a separate class.
