Dwarfs will habitually do some goofing around in temples and affiliates if they're on break (read "On strike because they lack alcohol, said strike can last from a month to half a year if you're hell bent on prohibiting alcohol") or if they don't find any job to do.

Guilds are the most rentable of all, since they at least holds demonstrations of their work, so they can level up without wasting materials in low quality dabbling tries.

Try to check if you still have alcohol or if your dorfs can build what you asked them to build. If said building is on suspended construction, if something used to build anything else is laying on the blueprint or if they can't find a tile adjacent to build in case of walls (diagonals don't count), they'll never build it but they will also never bother to tell you they can't do it, excluding some random job interruption message flooded on the mass.

Edit : Oh yeah, also dorfs now tend to avoid jobs they're not good at, except if they're really the only ones "able" to do it. If no one wants to do soap or dying things, that means that they're either on their break or found a way to be busy elsewhere.

I mean, feel free if you want.

Usually I can't find enough work for my dwarves when they start hitting 50+ so some being hived off into "luxury" activities is fine for me.

Just wait until you find out about the dwarven economy :D
