This is pretty definitive.

How sweet it is

Bump. Just minor description tweaks, then.
What other "related tropes" could be put for the "plot element" kind of usage?

Butting in late, but where do we draw the line for "plot element"? I've seen the following: a cartoon character's red nose is Adapted Out, as he'd depicted with black nose in the adaptation. That still feels like misuse (and I replaced in with Adaptation Dye-Job, which seems a better fit), but maybe with the new definition it's correct use?

Rudolph's red nose would be a plot element, Goofy's red nose is just a colouration choice.

So the idea is that any character or object that plays a role in the original narrative but is removed from the adaptation counts as Adapted Out, but character design differences and other aesthetic details do not?

Basically.

Bump. Anything else to add to the description?
Bump again as this thread can easily be cleared with description tweaks. I'm assuming this
is fine.
Maintenance?

Per above, it should be mentioned that it should not include cosmetic changes like an Adaptation Dye-Job; otherwise, it's fine. It's in and the indices have been updated. Anything else, or should it be closed?
I don't think the description has been swapped in yet and there is no discussion page notice.

LaundryPizza swapped it in already; I added a discussion page note.
Maintenance?
Aye; all it required was minor tweaks, whic is why you may not have noticed it.
OK then, closing.

Crown Description:
Adapted Out was originally defined as characters in the source material who don't appear in an adaptation. It has since been used to refer to story elements that get cut. Should the trope be expanded to cover these? (Note: downvoting means the scope of the trope stays the same.)
Hooking.
