An Ear Worm is like a Rickroll: It is never going to give you up.
I see the Awesomeness.
I think Trope Transplant is a better name personally.

Do we still need this?

That is the question. This isn't your normal rename, but Trope Transplant is the phrase that seems to get used the most in TRS.

I thought Trope Transplant was the name.

Then you've clearly never read the article. "Trope Transplant" and "Trope Displacement" are later redirects.

Is there really any need to rename this page? I guess Trope Transplant is used more often in discussion, but the redirect will lead you to the right place, so that is no real problem. There are certainly pages with more need to be fixed, so we should lock this and free a spot for one of these.

Just lock it.

Now this is a wiki adnimistrivia topic rather than a trope, but what are the odds of giving this a redirect swap and/or rename?
For example, we already have Trope Transplant, but I was also thinking maybe Trope Displacement* ....
"Launch" Displacement doesn't always fit the cause and effect — I know it's a snowclone of Adaptation Displacement, so it implies that a new trope got launched and then displaced the usage of the old trope. Conversely, several cases in TRS are actually the other way around — title collects misuse because of what I Thought It Meant, then a new trope is drafted to replace the existing title.
