Ugh... that whole page is wrong.  It looks like someone copied all the 40d info into the DF2010 namespace without verifying it.

Edit: or maybe they found nobles listed in a raw file and dumped them onto the wiki even if those nobles never show up.  Like the Dungeon Master.

It's more likely that positions with [MENIAL_WORK_EXEMPTION] doing normal work (and permitting you to assign labors to them) is a bug - enjoy it while you can.

I agree.  Dwarves respecting leaders who won't either mine or fight just doesn't seem right to me.  Ones who don't, I'm fine with; a Cheese Making Mayor is someone I can get along with.  But if s/he ain't willing to pick up a pick or an axe...  How'd s/he even rise to power?

Would be very nice to have [PERMITTED_POSITION_JOB:<whatever>] in the noble entries, plus a 'restricted job' option if all you want to do is stop them from doing something that goes against the nature of the position. That's not really a problem with dwarven positions as they are, but having the option would allow for more flavoursome nobles.

I am trying to make chickens lay bees as eggs. So far it only produces a single "Tame Small Creature" when a hen lays bees.
Honestly at the time, I didn't see what could go wrong with crowding 80 military Dwarves into a small room with a necromancer for the purpose of making bacon.
