Should you want to go through the same process that I did (a long one), Community Central Wiki is a very good place to start, documenting a lot of the functions and table features. Templates Wiki is the next step however, as I was completely unable to find a middle-ground, so for solely independant learning I had to backwards engineer the simplest ones you can find and work from that, which is much easier said than done. Once you get to that stage, just asking someone who knows is likely the best idea.

For testing, you can create the page "User:YourUserName/Sandbox", and you've got a personal page for testing things, which is an actual wiki page, so you can work with things that are bugged in the forums and comments. This is my one, and you can follow this broken link to make your own.

Edit: Oh, and this post is getting off topic. If you'd like to discuss learning wiki-text some more, you can bring it up on my message wall and we can continue the conversation there.
