I am also new here, so I've been doing a sort of similar thing to you in my sandbox to help me keep track of things. If you look at the top of my sandbox, I have a box with some of the things I tend to forget. Putting text between (just look at the code) sort of turns of the wikitext functions, so you can write them as normal text. e.g. instead of writing "To do an italic, you would do two apostrophes (') followed by the word or phrase, followed by two apostrophes (')." you can just put the word italics with three apostrophes on each side. I find it much faster that way. Hopefully that makes sense!
