This was done.
Suggested fixes/improvements to the main Whonix page i.e. http://www.dds6qkxpwdeubwucdiaord2xgbbeyds25rbsgr73tbfpqpt4a6vjwsyd.onion/
1. Update the “Forum” and “News” links at the very top of the page to .onion links.
Every other link is onionzed right now i.e. Download, Wiki, FAQ etc. This provides consistency.
“Forum” link → change to: http://forums.dds6qkxpwdeubwucdiaord2xgbbeyds25rbsgr73tbfpqpt4a6vjwsyd.onion/
“News” link → change to: http://forums.dds6qkxpwdeubwucdiaord2xgbbeyds25rbsgr73tbfpqpt4a6vjwsyd.onion/c/news
2. Add the source references for the following quotes (consistency with other quotes that already do that).
”For the even more paranoid, there is a lesser-known Tor-enabled OS called Whonix”
”Whonix is about as anonymous as an OS can get before it all becomes too inconvenient for normal use.”
”Whonix, an operating system you can run in a virtual machine to maximize your online anonymity; it’s ideal for maintaining a secret identity.”
”Whonix adds a layer of anonymity to your business tasks.”

A bit to much starting sentences with “Whonix …”? Good idea? Could you edit please?
Protecting our users against Real World Attacks. for around a decade. (history)
Taken that, however not sure. I prefer https://simple.wikipedia.org style language and guess “decade” is a less known word by non-native speakers than years.
https://github.com/Whonix/Whonix-Website/commit/7afc3f9689648771dcc28038a52cad0fc5e889b1

Spoke too soon. In the context, it’s actually not too much. Never mind.
Took all changes, I think. If not, it was forgotten. Please re-state.
That is a bit difficult. For all other links since these are on the same www subdomain, I was able to use relative links. But when switching to a different (sub)domain, html alone won’t cut it. That would require using PHP or some nginx string replace magic. Non-trivial. Hence, not yet implemented.
Nice - thanks. 
99% fixed. Just three little nits.
1. Remove extra full stop.
Protecting our users against Real World Attacks. for around a decade. (history)
Suggest instead:
Protecting our users against Real World Attacks for around a decade. (history)
2. Concept of trust repeated twice - suggest removing that.
You don’t have to trust our word that it respects and protects you. Whonix is independently verifiable by security experts and software developers around the world; you don’t have to trust developer claims. This improves security and privacy for everyone.
Suggest instead:
Whonix is independently verifiable by security experts and software developers around the world; you don’t have to trust developer claims. This improves security and privacy for everyone.
OR (if you prefer the first line of the original text):
You don’t have to trust our word that it respects and protects you. Whonix is independently verifiable by security experts and software developers around the world. This improves security and privacy for everyone.
3. Remove double “are”.
There are no artificial restrictions are imposed on possible system configurations.
Suggest instead:
There are no artificial restrictions imposed on possible system configurations.
No problem re: onion links. Figured there must have been some technical reason.
Great!
All fixed.
(Except some onion links which might get fixed at some point.)
Excellent!
Background: user on telegram asking, paraphrased "can I just use a VPN in VirtualBox and have equal or almost equal anonymity?
Now:
Based on Tor®
Whonix utilizes Tor®, which provides an open and distributed relay network to defend against network surveillance.
Issue: doesn’t mention how Tor is better than let’s say a VPN. Not sure we need to mention VPN verbatim. Could use a catchy (appropriate length compared to other boxes) summary.
Now:
Tor® Browser
Visit any destination including modern websites such as YouTube.
Issue: Should summarize something that perhaps Tor Browser Essentials mentions. Something on browser fingerprinting, linkablity?
Suggestions?
Maybe add: “Unlike Virtual Private Networks, Tor provides anonymity by design and removes trust from the equation.”
Maybe add: “Tor Browser is optimized for anonymity and millions of daily users help you blend in with the crowd.”
Very good, now online.
Big update on how the homepage is implemented nowadays…
The homepage that is whonix.org is nowadays also based on MediaWiki. If you are on https://www.whonix.org/ end press edit (using the supermenu).
related:
- Documentation for Kicksecure ™ Wiki Devs chapter Supermenu and Edit Button in Kicksecure wiki
- Documentation for Kicksecure ™ Wiki Editors chapter Super Menu in Kicksecure wiki
Much details on homepage:
Documentation for Kicksecure ™ Wiki Devs chapter Homepage (/wiki/Homepage) in Kicksecure wiki
The short summary is, when you edit the homepage whonix.org you’re actually editing whonix.org/wiki/Homepage which mostly uses:
There you have the html and CSS.
Since the homepage was specifically prettyfied, it’s mostly HTML / CSS but in the wiki. Due to security reasons and also because it’s difficult (requires HTML and maybe CSS skills), unfortunately it’s not possible to allow edits without prior discussion.
(Whonix is based on Kicksecure.)
(You know that, but other readers might not that’s why I mention it anyhow.)
Related, wiki editor documentation (but does not explain how to modify homepage):
Related, wiki developer documentation (how the wiki is customized):
noscript caused an issue with Tor Browser maximum security slider setting + low screen resolution:
- __ns__pop2top class breaks multi-column layouts, e.g. bootstrap - InformAction Forums
- Documentation for Kicksecure ™ Wiki Devs chapter NoScript extension in Kicksecure wiki
Workaround in place now.
Due to the death of anbox:
its preferable to remove anbox from the main page:
Done.
