To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can Different message for users and IP's on users creating their own sandbox for use any time. It's perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put a link to it on your user page. Message to encourage users to create their own user page..

Please remember to:

Always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes ~~~~ at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your "IP address" (For IP's) or "signature" (For users), a link to "this IP's" (For IP's) or "your" (For users) talk page, and a timestamp.
Leave descriptive edit summaries for your edits. Doing so helps other editors understand what changes you have made and why you made them.

The best way to learn about something is to experience it. Explore, learn, contribute, and don't forget to have some fun!

Sincerely, Your Username (Leave me a message)
