Oh, here's a biggie. That individual ships in TOS had their own unique insignia. That turned out to be a myth, despite being perpetuated on-screen by ENT: "In a Mirror, Darkly".
It also led to a post of mine that was particularly controversial at the time.
You remember correctly. From Mr Scott's Guide to the Enterprise, p24:
(As you can see, the chronology here is way off, written as it was prior to TNG and the establishment of TNG's Season 1 in 2264 as per TNG: "The Neutral Zone". Mr Scott's Guide was based on the FASA Star Trek RPG timeline, which was in turn derived from the Star Trek Spaceflight Chronology.)
To be fair, the whole thing stemmed from a production mistake in TOS: "The Omega Glory". The article I linked to is pretty interesting and explains how this happened. It was only until the memo surfaced that we discovered exactly what the original intent was.
