Different materials make different colored levers, and you can put notes on top.  If worst comes to worst you can just check what the lever isn't able to be connected to.

Notes? How?

[N] (NOT lowercase n) -> [p] to place it where your cursor is -> [n] to rename it -> [t] if you want additional text added.

My entire  fortress. I use a drawbridge to seal the entrance. Maybe one of these days I'll make a military.

I have a walled-off aboveground compound connected to my fortress that serves as a barracks. In case of Fun I seal off the compound from the outside, then send marksdwarves to patrol the sniping platforms.

My noble rooms are outside. You know, ambush detectors.

I must admit admiration for your brilliant use for Nobility.

Panic rooms? ... nnnooo ... but if something were to start crawling out of the magma pipe I have a lever that drops a reservoir of water on it and obsidianises the whole thing (and ruins the magma furnaces and washes babies into magma and stuff) so that's a safety thing. Now I don't even know if something CAN crawl out of the magma, I've only seen magma crabs down there .. but the pipe extends all the way to the cotton candy so who knows?

 Let's hope no gremlins infiltrate my fort.

Panic rooms are still a good idea, especially with above ground fortresses.(Yes, I know above ground cities are not Dwarfy enough, but they get to meet human babes more often). I just make a lever control room, with a small booze, and prepared meal stockpile. Also a room for plump seeds, and a pick, for too much fun. When the nastys arrive, I already have the panic room assigned in a burrow, and a alert to send the civilians there.(Its better than disallowing dwarfs aboveground, in the older versions.)

I've had problems with nobles food stockpiles never being full (the same with prisoner food stockpiles), so I just use the main dining room as a panic room. All 8 doors can be locked, which is all that matters for my purpose. It also tends to be somewhere in the deep in the fort than the entrance, so my guards have a decent time guarding it.
