Line 20:
* [[Regenerating Health]] used to be "Walk It Off". Renamed to make the connection between the trope and name clearer.
* [[Regional Bonus]] was once "PAL Bonus", but was renamed to include bonus content from any regional version of a product.
* [[Reindeer Aren't Real]] was renamed from "Eskimos Aren't Real" because "Eskimo" is now considered a racial slur by the Inuit.
* [[Reliably Unreliable Guns]] was "Shur Fine Guns" (which has some meaning, but it's not mentioned anymore on the page).
* [[The Remnant]] was formerly known as "The Undefeated", which sounds like another trope entirely.
Line 55 ⟶ 56:
* [[Searching the Stalls]] used to be "Stalling for Time"—a name that was mistaken as meaning, well, stalling for time more often than it was used to mean someone searching a series of bathroom stalls.
* [[Second Season Downfall]] used to be called "One-Season Wonder", which enjoyed almost 100% misuse (either as "series that lasted one season or less" or "great character who only appeared in one season").
* [[Seductive Spy]] was renamed from "Mata Hari" to distinguish the trope from the historical personage, who then gained an Useful Notes biography page.
* [[Seemingly-Profound Fool]] was previously "Chance the Gardener", but was renamed because it was being used to refer to the character from ''[[Being There]]''.
* [[Selective Enforcement]] was once "Flaming Cobra Sugar Cellar" (named by something happening on ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]''). Another case of an incomprehensible trope name, particularly since it wasn't named [[In-Universe]] (as evidenced by the use of a British English descriptor based on an American work).
Line 168 ⟶ 170:
* [[Timeline-Altering MacGuffin]] was formerly "Gray's Sports Almanac" after the [[Trope Codifier]], ''[[Back to the Future (film)|Back to The Future]]''.
* [[Tin Can Telephone]] was "Tin Can You Hear Me Now". The old name was an overcomplicated "[[Wheel of Fortune|Before & After]]" for something that has a much simpler name in [[Real Life]], so there was no reason to [[Call a Rabbit a Smeerp]].
* [[Token
* [[Token Minority Couple]] was once "Token Shipping" due to a complete and utter lack of shipping.
* [[Too Awesome to Use]] was renamed from "P Wing Effect" after the item from ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]''.
