The original name led to usage that wasn't initially covered, since the definition originally referred to platonic relationships unintentionally looking romantic to audiences. Said definition was moved to a new name, while the old name was repurposed for a supertrope for various relationship-related tropes and AudienceReactions.

* GodsHandsAreTied <-> TheGodsMustBeLazy \\
These tropes transplanted ''each other'', because the person who created the latter trope was unaware the former trope existed. The titles were eventually switched to make more sense.



* PlausibleDeniability and SecretHistory: This case is a comparative MindScrew -- The trope under the title PlausibleDeniability was originally what is now SecretHistory until an editor unilaterally rewrote the page without discussion to be about what the term PlausibleDeniability is more commonly used for. A few years later, the old definition's text was sent to TLP to receive its new title.
