This is what I removed:
There is a curious variant on the Revision - the creator was working up to something cool, and they were even doing a little Foreshadowing. Then they suddenly have AN IDEA. Or maybe they got fired. Now, something even better is going to happen! It doesn't exactly spoil everything, but all that foreshadowing is now worthless, and the chance to foreshadow this new idea was missed out on. So BAM! It comes almost out of nowhere (and often requires a little Head Canon to explain how it fits in).

I'm probably the only person here who's not played Portal but "a patch to change the ending" doesn't seem to fit with the trope decription of "whithout altering or contradicting any previously known information". That sounds more like a Rewrite.
