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 * Red (#CD5C5C) is a remedy that has since been rescinded or otherwise is wholly reliant on previous remedies that are themselves rescinded.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 * Rescinded: If a remedy was terminated, this will be the calendar date (in UTC) when the remedy was ended.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

=2016=

Kevin Gorman

 * Decided: Jan. 18, 2016

(This case has been courtesy-blanked for the privacy of its participants and their estates. Kevin Gorman was desysopped. He would pass away on July 29 of the same year.)

Wikicology

 * Decided: May 13, 2016

(This case has been courtesy-blanked due to a conversation on Arbitration-related mailing lists. While ArbCom found Wikicology was harassed relentlessly (to the point suppression and blocks were necessary), they did not believe this justified his poor contributions and behaviour. As such, they sitebanned him, topic-banned him from images and medical topics, and notified other Wikimedia Foundation-run wikis where he was active of the remedies and findings of fact of this case so that they can clean his contributions up.)

 * Closed/Declined: July 09, 2019

(Due to the extremely unusual circumstances (specifically, community outrage over the apparently-sudden banning of Fram) and the Foundation's unwillingness to continue sanctioning administrators for attempting to enforce community consensus, ArbCom - who was blindsided by the block almost as much as the community was - declines to accept a full case, issuing a motion that simply specifies that wheel-warring is unacceptable, regardless and especially if one of the parties is User:WMFOffice or a WMF staffer.)
