• ER (eligible requests): Indicates the beginning of a new section and gives the total number respectively, of case requests, other requests, or all requests, for which this arb was eligible to act (count of non-"N"s).
• I (inactive): The total number of requests for which this arb was listed at Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee as inactive/away at the time of the request's closing, and did not act on the request (i.e. did not recuse. accept, decline or comment) (count of "I"s); as a percentage of ER.
• R (recused): The total number of requests for which this arb recused (count of "R"s); as a percentage of (ER − I).
• V (voted): The total number of case requests this arb voted to accept or decline (count of "A"s or "D"s); as a percentage of (ER − (I + R)).
• DNA (did not act): The total number of requests for which this arb was listed at Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee as active at the time of the request's closing, but did not act (count of empty cells); as a percentage of (ER − (I + R)).
• A (accept): The total number of case requests this arb voted to accept (count of "A"s); as a percentage of V.
• D (decline): The total number of case requests this arb voted to decline (count of "D"s); as a percentage of V.
• C (comment): The total number of other requests this arb commented on (count of "C"s); as a percentage of (ER − (I + R)).

• Legend: S=Support, O=Oppose, A=Abstain, Ac=Active arbs, R=Recuse, I=Inactive/away, M=Majority, N=Not eligible, Offered = the arb who posted the motion.

• I (inactive): The total number of motions for which this arb was listed at Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee as inactive/away at the time of the motion's closing, and did not act on the motion (i.e. did not recuse. support, oppose or abstain) (count of "I"s); as a percentage of EM.
• R (recused): The total number of motions for which this arb recused (count of "R"s); as a percentage of (EM − I).
• V (voted): The total number of motions this arb voted to support or oppose (count of "S"s or "O"s); as a percentage of (EM − (I + R)).
• A (abstained): The total number of motions for which this arb abstained (count of "A"s), as a percentage of (EM − (I + R)).
• DNA (did not act): The total number of motions for which this arb was listed at Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee as active at the time of the motion's closing, but did not act (count of empty cells); as a percentage of (EM − (I + R)).
• S (supported): The total number of motions this arb supported (count of "S"s); as a percentage of V.
• O (opposed): The total number of motions this arb opposed (count of "O"s); as a percentage of V.

• Passed: The number of motions offered by this arb which passed.
• Failed: The number of motions offered by this arb which failed.
• %: The percentage of motions offered by this arb which passed.

The column headings, in the two tables below, have the following meanings:

• Legend: S=Support, O=Oppose, A=Abstain, Ac=Active, R=Recused, I=Inactive/away, M=Majority, N=Not eligible. An "S1" indicates the first supporting vote. The numbers in the second set of arb columns give the length of time (rounded to the nearest day) between the first action (support, oppose or abstain) on this proposal and this arb's action.

• S (supported): The total number of proposals this arb supported (count of "S"s); as a percentage of V.
• O (opposed): The total number of proposals this arb opposed (count of "O"s); as a percentage of V.
• FS (first support): The number of times this arb was first to support the proposal, which is generally indicative of having drafted the proposal (count of "S1"s); as a percentage of total number of proposals drafted.
• ATV (average (mean) time to vote), MTV (median time to vote): For all the proposals this arb acted on (i.e. supported, opposed, or abstained), the average (mean) and the median of the length of time (in days) between the first action on the proposal and this arb's action on the proposal.
