Why are my fort's cage traps capturing me dwarves? Trying to reclaim an FB filled fortress and me remainin' survivors keep ragin' and getting caught by the traps.

Cage traps can capture friendly units if they are knocked unconscious or caught in a web.

It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.

It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.

I'm not sure if this happens, but you might need to reclaim those cage traps as well - I know that you need to reclaim workshops when reclaiming a fort in order to use those workshops. (reclaim - d -> b -> c)

Should've used serrated disc traps, it would be funnier.

Listen up: making a thing a ‼thing‼ doesn't make it more awesome or extreme.  It simply indicates the thing is on fire.  Get it right or look like a silly poser.

It's useful to keep a ‼torch‼ handy.
