I've never had a dwarf hold onto an artifact after making it, they just leave it in the workshop and it gets moved to a stockpile.

Just limit it to large tools that could be used as weapons. Butchers get cleavers, farmers get pitchforks, miners get their picks, etc.

How about make it so that the tools aren't actually required for a job, they just speed it up by a couple factors? A dwarf can dig and plant stuff with a flat chunk of wood or their bare hands, it just goes way slower than with a shovel.

Adasar the Quartzite hatch cover is already installed in the dining room.

Edit: Wow, I really like what was done with the outer defense area.

Edit again: Would it hurt to make clothes for everybody?  Having all the dwarves running around in nothing but vomit is a bit disturbing.

I'll take the cook then.

Just use whatever name they already have.

Currently wrestling doesn't do anything to immobilize an enemy until something is actually broken. You can grab their left hand with both arms and your knees, but it doesn't stop them from punching you with it anyway.

The general stat boosts you get from training it to a high level will definitely help with normal attacks.

I found it from the TVtropes website, read it's article, and started link jumping.  I eventually bumped into Boatmurdered and decided to download the game.

Took one look at the scramble of ASCII on the screen from my first fortress and rushed off to hunt down the wiki.

So long as they don't accidentally strangle each other.

Anybody want to take bets on the number of dead recruits that will be showing up in the next few years?

In vanilla you can often get the goblins and humans at the same time. You choose which to trade with when you (T)rade with them, you just select from the list of current caravans.

3 Cage and Traps :
3.1 When a Trap related job is interrupted, suspend them
  By "Trap related job" I mean Load trap & Clean trap. If such an job is interrupted by a hostile or wild being, it shall be suspended because odds are there that that being will be around for a while and trying to do the job is fruitless - only puts your dwarves in danger and generates lots interruped message while wasting their time and CPU.

3.2 When a "Needs empty cage" announcement is raised, suspend that job
  Due to obvious reasons empty cage is not an unlimited resource. That message will eventually keeps coming out if you have some cage traps, flooding the announcement channel.
No way. I'd rather have message spam than yet another job that I have to micromanage every time a dwarf sees a groundhog, gets a mood, or is married.  Just forbid the traps you don't want loaded.

There should really just be an orders option. Dwarves load traps: yes or no?

Gah. If a thread is going to make me want to gouge out my eyeballs and soak them in lye, could you at least put some sort of warning on it? Please?

(d)esignate -> (b) -> (c)laim

Will makes all of it unforbidden at once.  If that doesn't work, kill it with fire.

Here's something I read recently:
"Grandma Tilly wants to make a square quilt but only has eight pieces of square fabric. What cutting should she do to make the quilt come out correctly?"
The illustration features a cat sitting on the quilt with a pair of scissors hovering over them.

Now, as a Dwarf Fortress player, what solution do you think came to my mind first?

Haven't tried that.  I suspect it would work, though variable depth water might mess it up.
