WhoDis - Main character chat prefix

WhoDis adds your main’s name before your chat messages in the channels you pick. Non-users see your main character as a prefix in the chat, while WhoDis users see your main character as the author. Works in all channels.

WhoDis

WhoDis adds your main’s name before your chat messages in the channels you pick.
Non-users see your main character as an affix in chat (e.g. [MainName]: hello), while WhoDis users see your main character as the author. Works in all channels you enable.

 

IMPORTANT

If character name replacement is enabled, the right-click context menu in chat will target the main, not the actual alt who sent the message. This is a limitation of WoW’s UI and isn’t fixable by addons. It’s the trade-off for the cleaner look. You can still invite/whisper from your Guild Roster or Friends List as usual. This option is toggleable in the addon options menu.

 

WHAT IT DOES

Adds a compact tag: [MainName]: before your message.
Hides that tag for WhoDis users and shows your main as the sender. (If you enable it)
Supports Guild, Party, Raid, Instance, Say, Yell, Whisper/BN, Officer, and custom channels (General/Trade/etc.).

 

SETUP

Open Options → AddOns → WhoDis (or type /wd options).
Set Your Main Character Name.
Tick the channels you want it to affect.
For custom channels (General/Trade/etc.), click Refresh Channel List first.

 

COMMANDS

/wd main YourMain    - set your main name
/wd options                 - open settings
/wd toggle                   - enable/disable the prefix on send
/wd collapse               - show/hide the prefix when receiving

 

Tips

Want to verify it’s working? Toggle Collapse off and you’ll see [MainName]: in your own chat.
City/trade channels only appear in the list while you’re in a city; hit Refresh Channel List after joining/leaving.

That’s it. People always know who you are, even on alts.

Vibe coded nonsense, you can check source code on GitHub, and also report issues there. I will try to fix it asap.
