Retcon
,no edit summary
The reason it is done is because when a fiction universe grows, story lines might conflict as every writer can't know every bit of lore, or there is just a small tweak needed to make the whole story line a lot more interesting.
When a retcon is made and some information has been made redundant, that information can either just be completely disregarded, or just made into [[flavour lore]].
