... if one armed dwarf equipped with war hammer and a shield is made useless for military when his ability to grasp is somewhat impaired and his right upper arm is missing.

If he can still hold either a shield or hammer in the other arm, he will not be useless in a fight, but he is better off doing some civilian work instead. If he cannot hold a shield or hammer in the other arm, he may have issues with not being able to hold a mug.

For pigtails, I use a method intended to ensure a rough split between booze and thread production of all excess pigtail, and to maintain a reserve of pigtail for slurry production. It is a set of jobs that trigger when enough resource is available for all of the jobs at once, and the ratio of items produced from the jobs determines the split %.

In this example, it is 33% booze production and 67% thread production, with a reserve for slurry. Since the Process Plant, Brew Drink, and Slurry jobs each take one "item stack" of pigtails and processes it, and the job manager counts "items" available, not "item stacks" available, the numbers in the following example reflect this difference. To set it up you need:

• one stockpile for pigtails (the only stockpile in the fort that accepts pigtails, maybe 3 to 6 tiles and using barrels)
• one stockpile for empty barrels/pots (it could be anywhere in the fort, but it needs to exist and hold 4+ barrel/pots because the Still will be linked to it)
• near the pigtail stockpile, one Farmer's workshop (linked to the pigtail stockpile)
• near the pigtail stockpile, one Still workshop (linked to the pigtail and barrel stockpiles)
• near the pigtail stockpile, one Quern workshop (linked to the pigtail stockpile)
• set each workshop profile to refuse General Work Orders
• in Farmer's shop, add a job to "process plant" (quantity = 4, condition = at least 50 pig tail and 2 empty barrel available)
• in Still, set up a job to "Brew Drink" (quantity = 2, condition = at least 50 pig tail and 2 empty barrel available)
• in Quern, set up a job to "produce slurry" (quantity = 4, condition = less than 5 sheets available)

So, when you have at least 50 pig tail "items" (which means you have at least 10 pigtail "item stacks") and 2 barrels available, it will trigger the production of 4 Process Plant and 2 Brew Drink jobs (roughly splitting the pigtail, 67% and 33%), with those workshops taking from the linked stockpiles, and there will be a reserve of pigtail in case you run out of pigtail sheets and the slurry job triggers. The job item condition of at least 50 pig tails available is due to the need to assume you might have anywhere from 50 "item stacks" of 1 item each to 10 "item stacks" of 5 items each, and that up to 10 "item stacks" might be needed at once.

He needs a workshop for his mood type. See moods: skills and workshops.

I had one damaged piece of armor.  A masterwork steel helm,exceptionally decorated with gold and finely decorated with reindeer bone.  This helmet earned one level of wear in combat.  The dwarf automatically replaced this helmet with an undecorated masterwork steel helmet.  In it's worn state, this helmet is worth 4387 urists vs the 4320 urist value of an undecorated masterwork steel helm.

This might mean that military and civilian uniforms value items differently, with the protective value of the item being more important for military uniforms and the urist value of the item more important for the civilian uniform.

I had an elf merchant walk onto ice, which melted while the merchant's yak was still on land. So there was the elf merchant standing on water while the yak was standing on land, and they stopped moving. I built a floor under the elf and he started moving again.

Within vanilla DF, when you are in the creation menu for a temple location, scroll down the list of deities and you can see all of the deities and each one's domains. The list includes all deities from your civ's pantheon, including those that none of your dwarfs worship. It is quick to write them down on paper and then you have the list.

I do not know if other deities are added to that list after non-dwarf worshippers are accepted as citizens.

One of the monster slayers showed up with two artifact weapons; a bow and a halberd. Im keeping them. Locked him in a room until he dies

Are they artifacts from moods or just common weapons that were named by the slayer?

There is no "take a bath" job, only the "Clean self" job. They always seem to use soap if soap is available (not in the hospital storage).

Maybe your dwarfs just don't feel dirty enough.... I believe sweat is not a contaminant. It evaporates, but bloodstains do not. Being sweaty might not be a reason to start a "clean self" job, but being bloody is. Send a couple of dwarfs to butcher several wild animals and find the bloodiest dwarf, and follow him. He should start a "clean self" job.
