How to read the sections
edit- 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- Red (#CD5C5C) is a remedy that has since been rescinded or otherwise is wholly reliant on previous remedies that are themselves rescinded.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- Rescinded: If a remedy was terminated, this will be the calendar date (in UTC) when the remedy was ended.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 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
New VRT queue established | The paid-en-wp mailing list (used exclusively by Checkusers to investigate conflict of interest matters) is wound down. In its place, a new Volunteer Responce Team queue is created, staffed by functionaries (Checkusers/Suppressors) and administrators who have signed the same privacy documents and undergone an appointment process similar to what functionaries have. Any cases from the queue, particularly credible [conflict-of-interest reports] involving an administrator, may be referred to ArbCom at the discretion of those answering the queue. |
N/A | 11 | 0 | 0 | 2 |
Fram admonished | Fram is admonished for exposing personally-identifying information repeatedly and told in no uncertain terms the next time he does so will be grounds for a summary Arbitration siteban. | No | 6 | 5 | 0 | 2 |
Nihonjoe: removal of permissions | Nihonjoe's administrator and bureaucrat rights are revoked. He may only regain them through new successful Requests for Adminship/Bureaucratship. | N/A | 10 | 0 | 0 | 2 |

Mzajac
edit- Deopped: May 07, 2024
(Case closed with a desysop after a three-month abeyance period due to Mzajac quitting Wikipedia to evade the Arbitration.)

- Abbrev.: VZP
- Type: Dispute
- Scope: NoonIcarus' and WMrapids's fighting in the Venezuelan politics topic area
- CT?: No
Remedy name | Remedy (in modern terms) | Enforceable? | Sup | Opp | Abs | Rcs |
