This list is rather large. I propose to break out some of the longer sections, e.g. Mathematics, into separate articles like "List of mathematics awards", and structure these as sortable lists like:
I would leave {{main}} pointers to the new sub-lists, so this article would evolve towards a list of lists. Sortability would make the sub-lists more useful. Some of them may naturally be broken down into sub-sub-lists, and may also benefit from introductions and backmatter. They would fit more precisely into the category structure and would be easier to link to (section links are not very reliable). I cannot see any value in listing all the science and technology awards in one article: if someone is looking for the Xyz Award and is not sure what it is about, they will find it through a simple search for "Xyz Award".
Since there were no objections, I have started splitting out sections. I think the smaller lists will be more manageable, and will support more information, while this list will remain as an index. Aymatth2 (talk) 12:13, 12 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
