To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own personal sandbox for use any time. It's perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put ((My sandbox)) on your user page. By the way, seeing as you haven't created a user page yet, simply click here to start it.

Please remember to:

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