Talk:Tony Award for Best Lighting Design

message: Most Tony Awards are split into separate wikipedia pages for their different categories/genres (musical vs. play). In this case, the award is condensed to a single page. Being that this might be confusing for data ingestion / data pipelines, I'm going to suggest we convert the data from wide to long, like as is done for Tony Award for Best Sound Design.
