With that said, Shuma-Gorath's entry in specifically says that the Old Ones are also known as Many-Angled Ones, so if the merge is to happen, Many-Angled Ones is to be merged to Old Ones since that is their original name.

Also, revealing the Old Ones are also called Many-Angled Ones isn't a retcon in any way. If the other Old Ones / Many-Angled Ones are anything like Shuma-Gorath, they exist outside reality as we know it and are capable to enter it with nothing but a small piece of themselves, making it possible for them to have multiple histories throughout the Multiverse. Plus, Marvel still uses "Old Ones" when the writers want to be more Lovecraftian, like in Carnage Vol. 2.
