About What's This?
Ever have trouble remembering the whether ZA is the level 70 instance or ZF? Ever wonder what level you need to be to hit Un'Goro successfully? Have trouble figuring out where to quest when you're levelling a new toon?
What's This? is there for you.
Just type /what and the acronym, zone name, instance name, or level for a quick hit of information in the chat window.
For example:
/what ZA gives us WhatsThis: levels 70-80 Zul'Aman 10 man Instance in Ghostlands (Horde)
/what stv gives us WhatsThis: levels 31-45 Stranglethorn Vale Zone
/what 55 gives us a list of zones and instances for players at level 55
The following commands are available:
- /what ## = what zones/instances should a player at level ## be in?
- /what zone = what zones should I be in?
- /what instance = what instances should I be in?
- /what xx = what does 'xxxx' mean?
- /what = show a list of available commands
With the 1.0 release, I've added the locations of instances (because I can never remember) and whether a location is controlled by the other faction. Big fun.
If I've missed something, do please let me know.

Please update.
If you have a memory, this addon isn't going to be do that much for you.
/what hol
to find out what hol stands for, or replace hol with whatever acronym you need.
I can change it so that the minimum level displays for everyone - just not sure that that would be an improvement.
typing /what and an acronym gives me nothing as if the addon does not exist.
I also had to manually install it as the client installs the files in the /interface/addons/ folder and not /interface/addons/whatsthis/ folder had to manually create that folder as well since its not in the packed file.
It shows up in the ingame addons list at the char screen, but it does not function.
Hope you fix this, would be a great little tool :)
Thanks for the feedback -- please keep it coming.
Want to try this.
