Ideally you want to actually go beyond that and have a nice preview sample like:

It would make it clear that's just an example, and would instead show the page name for whatever they edited. But that preview would be nice. Unless you can predict the future, you will never have this kind of preview. The message is generated after the first edit is made. You can't have a real preview of the message when the events haven't occurred yet.

Wikia spends time creating help pages for all features (including the welcome messages). These variables require very little advanced coding knowledge, as I said before, they are simple parameters filled internally.
