This arbitration case has been closed and the final decision is available at the link above. The following remedies have been enacted:

• (i) The community-authorized general sanctions for post-1978 Iranian politics are hereby superseded and replaced by standard discretionary sanctions, which are authorized for all edits about, and all pages related to, post-1978 Iranian politics, broadly construed.
  (ii) All sanctions in force when this remedy is enacted are endorsed and will become standard discretionary sanctions governed by the standard procedure from the moment of enactment.
  (iii) Notifications issued under Post-1978 Iranian politics general sanctions become alerts for twelve months from their date of issue, then expire.
  (iv) All existing and past sanctions and restrictions placed under post-1978 Iranian politics general sanctions will be transcribed by the arbitration clerks in the arbitration enforcement log.
  (v) Any requests for enforcement that may be open when this remedy is enacted shall proceed, but any remedy that is enacted should be enacted as a discretionary sanction.
  (vi) Administrators who have enforced the Post-1978 Iranian politics general sanctions are thanked for their work and asked to continue providing administrative assistance enforcing discretionary sanctions and at the arbitration enforcement noticeboard.
• Uninvolved administrators are encouraged to take appropriate actions (pursuant to the discretionary sanctions authorization) to facilitate consensus through moderation of any Requests for Comments (RfC). These actions may include, but are not limited to:
  • moratoriums up to one year on initiating RfCs on a particular dispute,
  • word and/or diff limits on all RfC participants,
  • bans on editors who have disrupted consensus-finding from participation in a particular RfC, and
  • sectioned commenting rules in RfCs.

CFD

Hey Vice regent, thanks for catching my mistake! I've gone ahead and deleted the emptied cat. The way CFD works is that a category has to also be emptied of all its entries before it gets deleted, otherwise you'll get redlinked categories on the articles. However, manually going to every article and removing the category would take a long time, so we have a bot do all that grunt work for us when we list the category to be deleted at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Working. It turns out I forgot to list that category on the page after closing the CFD. Thanks to JPxG for emptying the category! bibliomaniac15 17:55, 23 September 2021 (UTC)

My pleasure -- nothing quite like cruising old CfDs with Cat-a-Lot to scratch the ol' editcountitis :^) jp×g 08:25, 24 September 2021 (UTC)
