The purpose of Special Honours

Hey User:Paora, just curious regarding this edit summary (The Public Service Medal is not announced via special honours lists, but rather are announced by the Public Service Commissioner). The purpose of the Special Honours list on Wikipedia is essentially a dumping ground for the various random lists issued each year (see 2022 Special Honours and 2022 Special Honours (Australia)). I'll admit I don't following the New Zealand honours like I do the UK and AUS, but surely it should be used the same? Nford24 (PE121 Personnel Request Form) 07:06, 29 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Nford24: My understanding of special honours lists in New Zealand is that they are for awards announced via the vice-regal section of the New Zealand Gazette, which the Public Service Medal is not. I've added the full list of recipients of the Public Service Medal to New Zealand Public Service Medal instead. Paora (talk) 23:51, 29 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
