Made some minor changes.

Any idea why the indent style of the XML settings is correct in the wiki markup but not on the wiki page?

I think the following is non-ideal.

      $ echo "vm.nr_hugepages=1054" >> /etc/sysctl.conf

Because forgetting a single “>” would lead to undesirable results. When later making changes, it gets more difficult explaining existing users to change their existing settings. Therefore let’s consider this.

      $ echo "vm.nr_hugepages=1054" > /etc/sysctl.d/50_hugepages

Because then you could next time tell existing as well as new users to rm the file if they ask how to remove it or another simple echo > to override/update in case other settings are ever required.

Not sure about the number. Had a convention like this in mind:
30_whonix
40_whonix_derivatives
50_user

No and for some reason not even the mediawiki markup works for it.

ok thats a better way of doing things.
