Format edit

1. Boldface

I changed the format thruout by "bolding" the whole lines that identify winners, rather than the leading numerals alone, ie the dates/years. This makes the winners more prominent relative to the runners-up.

2012 now differs from 2013 and 2014 in its use of 'Title, Author' format for all listings -- a comma (,) rather than the word 'by' without a comma to separate the book titles and author names.

2014 now differs from 2012 and 2013 in presenting the category names and category winners on one line --eg, Teen – Geek Girl by Holly Smale-- above the shortlists, rather than category names alone above lists with the winners listed bold and first, the others plain and alphabetical by surname.

2. Redlink authors

I replaced false bluelinks with plain author names rather than disambiguate them from the people who do have pages here. Thus I confirmed or corrected all bluelinks. At a glance I now find three redlinks were disambiguated by previous editors (Frost, Stevens, Ward).
