Summary0000909: Stockpile leather list displays entries for creatures yet to be discovered
DescriptionDescriptions of leathers available in stockpiles contain specific names of the types of hidden fun things available/generated in that particular world. Dwarves will also choose from the full extent of available creature types, including this supposed to be hidden/spoilered content, when engraving.
Steps To ReproduceDesignate a stockpile in a newly generated world, and scroll up on the first screen of specific leather types to see your personal list of hated foes.
Additional InformationTested and confirmed stockpiles via helpers on IRC; did not get to double check the engravings. Should be reproducible without too much trouble; probably related to dwarf omniscience with regard to every event that's so far happened in the world's history.

It's not even about omniscience with regard to events. It just lists every single creature in the world. Anyway, it's not really a bug per se -- I had talked to Toady about it previously, apparently the game knows which animals each civ has come in contact with, so it could theoretically restrict the list based on that, but Toady feels that the civ-animal contact list isn't reliable enough yet to use for stockpile settings.
