Advanced [Misc][Nameplates] WeakAura — Features and Notes

An enhanced nameplate WeakAura ([Misc][Nameplates]) with several useful options and fixes.

Main features

Works out of combat. Closing/adjusting other UI elements only happens when the hitbox changes in combat (for example, when new nameplates appear).
Supports FRIENDLY nameplates: they are ignored when stacking, and their hitbox can be made non-clickable.
Configurable start position for shields so they can be positioned further from the model.
Displays nameplates for very large boss models that would normally extend beyond the top edge of the screen.
Upper-screen-edge limit: a configurable cap so nameplates will not "fly off" past the top of the screen.
Option to hide nameplates while under the control of Lady Deathwhisper to avoid visual annoyance.
Blacklist option: add NPCs to a blacklist by name so they will not stack (for example, the dragonlings on Sindragosa's trash).

AutoMouseOver (ElvUI only): when a nameplate with a name appears, it is automatically moved under the cursor so ElvUI can assign it a GUID. This means you no longer need to manually target or MouseOver for buffs/debuffs to display correctly. Note: if you are running while holding the mouse cursor, the cursor will be FORCIBLY unlocked, which may be inconvenient.
Freeze MouseOver: when hovering over a nameplate, the plate is held in place EVEN if the NPC is moving (useful for better highlighting).

Important: to avoid problems, only one of the two options above (AutoMouseOver or Freeze MouseOver) should be active at a time.

This WeakAura will break or conflict if any of the following are enabled — disable them before using this WeakAura:
