How to read the sections

• Decided: The calendar date (in UTC) when the case was decided. If the case did not reach a decision, it will be Closed instead. If the case involved an administrator "retiring", it will be "Deopped" instead.
• Abbrev.: A shorthand abbreviation of the casename. See ArbCaseAbv for more details.
• Type: The type of case it is:

• Admin: A case centred around the conduct of one or more administrators.
• Dispute: A case that examines an intractible dispute between two or more editors directly.
• Editor: A case about the (non-administrative) misconduct of an editor.
• Functionary: A case centred around misuse of Suppressor or Checkuser permissions.
• Omnibus: A case about misconduct in a topic area writ large.
• Other: Any case that doesn't fall into one of the categories above.

• Scope: The overall scope of the case.
• CT?: An indication of whether or not a case includes or included a discretionary sanctions or contentious topic remedy.
• Remedy name: The name of the remedy (or a description of it, for earlier cases which did not have sectioned remedies).
• Remedy (in modern terms): Basically my best attempt to explain, in plain English and modern understanding, what the remedy means.

• If this section has a coloured background, the colour indicates its status or origin:

• Yellow (#FFFF00) is a temporary injunction issued mid-case.
• Blue (#00BFFF) is a post-close amendment or motion.
• Red (#FF0000) is a remedy that has since been rescinded or otherwise is wholly reliant on previous remedies that are themselves rescinded.
• Green (#32CD32) is a remedy whose wording was amended post-close, either due to an amendment/motion or due to changes in process (such as Discretionary Sanctions to Contentious Topic).
• Brown (#D2691E) is suspended or in abeyence, usually as part of a period where a remedy has been appealed.

• Amended/Enacted: If a remedy was added or amended post-close, this will be the calendar date (in UTC) when the remedy was modified or took effect.
• Rescinded: If a remedy was terminated, this will be the calendar date (in UTC) when the remedy was ended.
• Enforceable?: Indicates whether a given remedy can be invoked at WP:AE. Any remedy that predates April 2006 and was not still in force by then predates AE entirely.
• Sup/Opp/Abs/Rcs: The vote totals for a remedy (Support, Oppose, Abstain, Recused).

Any case that has been courtesy-blanked or closed without action will be given a very brief description and nothing further.

Remedy name	Remedy (in modern terms)	Enforceable?	Sup	Opp	Abs	Rcs
