Creating a case

When creating a case, add the list of arbitrators active on the case to the top of this template, right after the "==". (For the list of arbitrators by activity to be used in new cases, see Misplaced Pages:Arbitration Committee/Clerks/Noticeboard#Active/Inactive Arbitrators.) The format is
{{#ifeq:{{{Casename|}}}|yes|
'''Active:'''
#arbs

'''Inactive:'''
#arbs
}}

Then, place {{ACA|Casename=yes}} on the proposed decision talk page, replacing case name with the name of the Arbitration case (e.g., Example 2). Do not "subst:-" it during the case (this completely defeats the purpose), and do not add a header (the header is automatic), replacing "Casename" with the name of the actual case.

Updating

When an Arbitrator becomes active or inactive, he or she usually does so on multiple cases. This template makes it possible for a Clerk to update the lists of active/inactive Arbitrators on proposed decision talk to update the listings en masse, instead of one by one.

When an Arbitrator goes away or returns, update the majority notes on the voting pages themselves, checking to make sure they haven't already voted in that particular case. Then, opening up your contributions page in one window or tab, and this template in the other, move the arbitrator on all the cases you have recently edited.

Please note that Arbitrators sometimes deal differently with the transition from away/inactive to active status, depending on how long they were away, how many cases are pending at the time, and personal preferences. For example, one Arbitrator might ask to be moved to active on all pending cases, while another might choose to become active only on new cases accepted after his or her return, or only on cases where he or she actually votes on the decision. If the arbitrator's desire is unclear, he or she should be queried. The one definite rule is that an arbitrator must be listed as active on any case where he or she has voted on the proposed decision.

If an Arbitrator chooses to recuse himself or herself from a given case, the heading "recused" should be created between the "active" and "inactive/away" headings for that case, and the appropriate name(s) listed.

After

The Clerk who closes the case should subst the template on the proposed decision talkpage at the time of closing. This will finalize the list of arbitrators who participated (or were eligible to participate) in the decision. Please remove lists of closed cases from the bottom if you notice them accumulating, but only after making sure the template was substed on those cases.
