there's nothing in the stairwell... and it only leads to a dead end, it was built (after a reveal all) to show where the water was...

yet they run down it... I can't figure out how to seal it off, burrows don't work, because people cancel jobs outside their burrow...

I don't quite get the idea. Screenshots perhaps?

I'm guessing if you have a stairwell leading to a water source that you want to use for a well that they run down there to drink or wash. Deconstruct the stairwell or seal it off with hatches or floor it over.

Build a floor over the stairs, or make the stairwell restricted http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/DF2012:Traffic

"Restricted traffic" does not mean dwarves can't walk there.  If a restricted tile is along the only path to a place the dwarf wants to go, the dwarf will step on it.

Restricted/high/low traffic designations just change the "cost" of a given tile for the purpose of deciding which way to go to reach a point that the dwarf has already decided to reach.

yeah, build a floor above them...

or restrict it... which i did,

yet for some reason...

wee!!! let's go play downstairs!

yet... there's nothing there!  Only stairs to the water that isn't even accessible.

Dwarves seem to like to go to the low points on the map to hang out. They also go to previous job sites to hang out. They wont normally do this if there are good places to hang out though, such as a meeting zone and bedroom.
