Let me first list some of the page moves I was a culprit of because the spelling could not be determined until I found a very kind fellow editor with a script: I was really lucky to get help in figuring out a correct spelling. And I stopped creating pages early enough. But in the same story there were other names I spelled wrong at first.
 * "Leopold Kraus" moved to "Leopold Krauss"
 * "Ringstraße" moved to "Ringstrasse"

Note that this usually happens with minor characters and places. So it's hard to find such cases if you were not working on the story yourself.

On the other hand, there were several recent cases where a correct spelling was found early enough, before the page was created:
 * Aldriss plays an important role in the second War Doctor trilogy. Despite this, no official public materials provided the spelling at the time of release. BF has released another news pertaining to this release in about a week with the spelling spelled out.
 * Kram from the 10th Doctor Adventures is spelled "Kran" in the script. I made a note about this on his page. It might still lead to a renaming.
 * Goratania from the same release is spelled "Goritania" in the script. I should make a note of that too. UPD: I've just initiated a speedy rename based on
 * Mephistols is spelled "Mefistoles" in the script. But the singular spelling is not given.
 * Silvi was originally spelled "Silvie" on the story page with a telling note "Voice of Silvie as Uncredited Cast. If you find an alternate spelling, feel free to respell." Essentially, Thefartydoctor tried to put exactly the note that the proposed feature would make, but it was not very visible, so I missed it at first. Again, we were lucky that a script owner corrected the spelling before anyone created a page.
 * Kamishi page from The Diary of River Song has not been created yet but there are links to it, for instance on the page for Mr Song. I still have no idea how to spell it correctly. If anyone creates the page now, it might need renaming later.
 * The page for Varaxils from The Witch from the Well has not been created for more than 3 years, which is really a stroke of luck. There were at least three spellings used in red links. (I have already ascertained a correct spelling and will create the page pronto.)

Those are the ones I am aware of. Perhaps, others could remember other pages.
