Hello, dwarfiermastercheeskemakers. I am just starting my adventure with fortress mode, and I have many quetions to ask.

If I remember correctly, the wagon counts as a building, and can be deconstructed the same way: Enter the building properties mode by pressing (q), then bring the cursor over the wagon using the arrow keys. Once the cursor is close enough to the wagon for the game to select it, you should be able to order its removal by pressing (x).

Okay, thanks. Now, how do I designate rooms?

Okay, thanks. Now, how do I designate rooms?

To designate rooms, you need a bed built inside. Then [q] over the bed and resize the room.
To get the bed, yoou need a Carpenter Workshop and, obviously, logs. But since you decounstructed the wagon...

Ninjad...
Yup, most rooms need a piece of furniture to begin with. Bedrooms need beds, dinning halls need tables offices need chairs and so on.
But there is a lot of stuff you can designate that dose not count as rooms. Like stockpiles for example. Just enter the stockpile designation menu by pressing (p), pick what you want to stockpile and select a nice rectangle of space for storage.

Well, the skills of the citizens of Dikeshot are as follows:

All seven have proficient Gelder,
Proficient (Free)Mason.

I am in for a world of fun.

A Kea stole my battleaxe. Wot.

Keas are an unfortunate animal greeting for a new player to DF.  And an appropriate one.  Welcome to !FUN!, where even tiny birds can try and ruin your fortress.

A Kea stole my battleaxe. Wot.

At least you still have the anvil, right? 
One of the first things I do is dig 2-z down, and dig a 1 tile entry for the door, into an 11x11 (using Shift+arrow) room.
I create a stockpile for that room for all food, furniture, finished goods, cloth, leather, weapon and armor.  So this should cover most of my embark items.

Since you have already deconstructed the wagon, it might be more useful to build a wall around the wagon, and then a roof over it (in order to build the roof, yoiu'll need a ramp). Made of stone, since wood is more useful for other works.
