Also, it's a bit tedious to have to go into "View Page Source" and scroll through all the code to learn what classes/IDs exist in the first place. I hope there's a better way that I don't know about yet because I'm just getting my toes wet with this stuff.

I use the Firefox add-on "Firebug", which is the blueprint of the Firefox console AFAIK (see the "Inspector" view compared to the add-on). Then I use the Stylish add-on to apply CSS for my own elements without modifying the actual CSS. If it all works correctly, I migrate my CSS to the global, actual MediaWiki.css page.
