If they are unable to walk due to injuries, another dwarf will come haul them to the hospital.  You can check the jobs list for a Recover Wounded job to see who is responsible for this.

If they are able to walk, but just passed out repeatedly from pain, I don't see dwarves come to take them to the hospital.  They have to get their on their own, which means they have to heal somewhat first so that they stop passing out.  I don't know of a way to get a Recover Wounded job to generate on a dwarf who has working legs and feet, even if said dwarf is literally bleeding out from a severed arm.

Fleeting Flames is correct.  Build another wall in this tile:


Then move your upper screw pump here:


pumping from the west.

You can capture weres without detecting them by setting up door lures near outdoor spawn points.  Build two walls in a funnel shape with a stone door at the small end, fill the funnel with traps, and wait.  How deep you need the funnel depends on whether you're going to catch trolls with it too; if you don't get trolls, it only needs to be ~4 deep.

My experience is that weres take longer to destroy stone doors than they remain in were form.  When they change back, you will receive a notification and they will be trapped as soon as they move to flee.

I might build a raised aqueduct to bring the water into the pool, so that I could deconstruct it afterward and have just the pool without the channel that brought in the water.

To accomplish, build a screw pump on the edge of the river, then wall in the outlet and continue those walls toward your pool.  As long as your gate is at least 3 wide, you can continue to use it while pumping in water.

When the walls end at your pool, build another screw pump to pull the water over the pool wall.  When satisfied with the water level, you can deconstruct the pumps and channel and clean up the mud with flooring.

From the side it would look like this:

        SS
SS_______WPPPW
RGGGGGGGGGGGGG

With R being your river, G being ground, ___ being a walled-in aqueduct, S your screw pumps, and W the walls around your Pool.

This presumes that your area is secure enough for your dwarves to spend a lot of time outside constructing and deconstructing things, that your gate is wide enough to run a wall down the center of it and still have usable space, and that you don't mind deactivating whatever security measures you have in/at your gate.  So, there are limitations.

What I do is dig my reservoir (2-z deep) and a 2-wide path to the river/brook, without connecting it in any way to my fortress.  Since my reservoirs are always multiple z belowground, I put one raising bridge at the top of the path and one at the bottom.  Then fill the cistern to ~5/6 on the top cistern level, close both bridges, and only then channel a hole for the well.

Wells don't use water at a high rate.  When it's time to re-fill, it's sufficient to use the bridges as a water lock - open the top one until the space between is filled with water, then close the upper and open the lower to allow that water into the cistern.  At no point does any critter have an unobstructed path into the fortress, and it's low-tech.

You can build walls and floors over a brook, but doing so destroys the brook's surface which is generally undesirable to me.  Brooks are good fishing spots with no danger of the fisherdwarf falling into the water.  I do build over brooks but only to the extent it's unavoidable for courtyard security.

That did work.  So that is one solution for you, diglet.

I try to remember that not everyone likes or uses DFHack, but sometimes I forget.

I just tried moving some water-filled buckets to the trade depot, and no dice.  Moving them to the depot did not empty them, and they arrived full of water.  Nor could the water be sold out of the bucket separately. 

Dumping the bucket (either with k-d or with d-b-d) didn't work - the water came along for the ride regardless of whether it was, itself, selected.  Dumping only the water and not the bucket was similarly ineffective, accomplishing no movement of anything.

Greatercrypts was briefly ported over to the new PyLNP .43.03 version, until I noticed that very-threatening "items" entry at the bottom of the stocks list.  So we're still on .42.06 for now.

Our fourth melee squad is three-quarters filled, and we have three marksdwarves-in-waiting (waiting, that is, for a full squad before training starts).  There are still 40 children in the fort, and we haven't yet reached the designated population cap of 150, so it's only a matter of time before we have a full marksdwarf squad.  It's okay; history is long.

I deployed the orchard for the first time this past summer, and even with almost-untrained herbalists it produced hundreds of fruit.  The orchard is turned off again for now, and will be until all this fruit is brewed into fruity wines.  I don't know how good persimmon wine could possibly be, but multiple dwarves are really into it.  IMHO blackberry wine is far better than any other fruit wine, and dwarves will eat raw eyeballs so their tastes can't be trusted.
