Is this common?
I personally just keep around a handful of markdown files split up into different categories for things I use every few months, but can never remember the exact command or series of commands to accomplish it.
I've also had a few coworkers and friends who have hosted blogs (some public, some private) for the same purposes.
Documenting them in your own words will also likely help with the knowledge retention so you may even find that you won't need to look it up next time it happens.
One of the most common reasons is Python's argparse. I find it easier to consult the documentation when I need it than remember how it works.
Every once in a while the page which gives me the answer is something that I wrote.
