Post it in the modding help thread.  It sounds like you're trying to make it do something it shouldn't, or you may have ordered the tags in an order the game doesn't get.

I occasionally get migrants with absolutely no skills, so if it's just a couple you're fine. If you're getting a bunch, then you probably broke something.

I have a kunzite forgotten beast in my cavern. Is there a preferred weapon type (blunt/slashing/stabbing) for bringing it down?

Kunzite is a type of gem. It is not amazingly strong compared to something like metal.

Might not want stabbing, as inorganic FBs are a bit large for spears to be overly effective.

Is it possible to train vermin and make them pets? The wiki says so, but I can't make it work.

You do it at a kennel, IIRC.

Edit: And the vermin must be in a trap, not a cage.

I am currently playing a fortress where my parent civilization is dead. After the two hardcoded migrant waves i only got a total of 15 dwarves. Will i get attacked by goblins and the necromancer tower that is nearby?

Parent civilizations never entirely die, and probably. Especially if the goblins were at war with your parent civilization.

What are the implications of a civ that has no blue things on the map but is not indicated as dead or dying?  I guess by blue things I mean fortresses.

I'm trying to press olives for oil, but my dwarves keep eating them raw. Is there any way to stop this?

Never mind, just removed [EDIBLE_RAW].

Well, i checked legends viewer, and there is a total of 7 dwarves, 3 humans and 3 elves and 10000 goblins in the world. All the humans, elfs and dwarves are necromancers who do nothing but write books about each other over and over again. So i would say that my parent civ is totally dead.

I had a world where the only few dwarves left were deities. Large migrant waves still arrived. Either they came out of nowhere or legends viewer is unreliable.

They do indeed come from Nowhere.
  Nowhere is the eternal fort.

Ah yes, after some more playing, i got a pretty big third migrant wave. I assume these are dwarves that are still alive out there. Even though the civ is dead, some dwarves are probaly still alive in the world.

Is the current version stable and mostly bug-free? I'd like to start a fort again and i'd very much appreciate if i didn't have to restart because of some weird bug or awesome new stuff that will be added later.

The current version is the most stable and bug-free that you are likely to get for a good long while.
