=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 * Red (#CD5C5C) is a remedy that has since been rescinded or otherwise is wholly reliant on previous remedies that are themselves rescinded.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 * Rescinded: If a remedy was terminated, this will be the calendar date (in UTC) when the remedy was ended.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.
