Wouldn't this actually enable passwordless sudo for all members of the wheel group, rather than just for one user?
What would the config look like if the OP wants to be both a member of the wheel group, and have a paswordless sudo config *only* for himself?
Just use the username of the user instead of %wheel

Adding a user to the wheel group is a separate issue. This can be done via the user manager gui, or by editing /etc/group. As far as the sudoers file goes, all settings for wheel are commented out by default
Not sure if there are other reasons to add a user to the wheel group. Don't think there is any other use for the wheel group. Perhaps someone else who knows can respond to that issue.

F16 first boot after a fresh install asks you if you want to add your new user(s) to the admin group (wheel). It was the easiest way to explain it to the o/p.
