There are no examples in the "Mnesia Event Handling"
section as you already have found out, but it does
provide an exhaustive list of all events.

Here is a small example?

# erl
Erlang (BEAM) emulator version 5.5.3 [source] [async-threads:0] [kernel-poll:false]

Eshell V5.5.3  (abort with ^G)
1> mnesia:start().
ok
2> mnesia:create_table(t,[]).
{atomic,ok}
3> mnesia:subscribe({table, t}).
{ok,nonode@REDACTED}
4> mnesia:dirty_write(t, {t,12,4 2}).
ok
5> mnesia:dirty_write(t, {t, 12, 43}).
ok
6> mnesia:dirty_delete(t, 12).
ok
7> flush().
Shell got {mnesia_table_event,{write,{t,12,42},{dirty,<0.30.0>}}}
Shell got {mnesia_table_event,{write,{t,12,43},{dirty,<0.30.0>}}}
Shell got {mnesia_table_event,{delete,{t,12},{dirty,<0.30.0>}}}
ok
