Research direction
Examine the existing pages for 'qm' and 'pct' commands in the tldr repository. Review issue #22114 for context on why the current placeholder numbers are insufficient. Look for examples of machine IDs in Proxmox documentation to suggest more realistic placeholders. Propose changes to improve clarity without making the placeholders too specific.
