Nameplates Feature For All Boss Abilities and "General Addon-wide Toggles"

Describe the problem

Currently, the nameplate feature is only applied to trash mobs in Bigwigs for dungeons. There are a few rare boss abilities that are setup to have the nameplate option, but they're rare and are mostly all fixates. (There's like one boss cast and one or two boss frontal casts that I can think of in the current season with the nameplate option)

So I assume the goal with Bigwigs having the nameplate cooldown feature is to cut down on unnecessary weakauras that make things easier for the player and less taxing on the game, but not having all boss casts included is something that would hold me back from fully swapping over. If you made Bigwigs/Littlewigs, mostly speaking for dungeons here, have the ability to make any ability that is possible, so any ability that has a set cooldown, able to have a nameplate option, this would fill the role of any seasonal weakaura pack, but at the moment, having only trash casts work with the nameplate feature will probably cause people like myself to hold off. I know having both a bar and nameplate for a given ability might sound redundant, but the option to choose is nice (especially because most ppl are mostly focused on nameplates), especially when it's already built into the addon for most other casts.

Basically I'm just asking for any cast that has a cooldown have the nameplate option, ie anything with a set cooldown/isn't triggered by a boss hp% or something besides a cooldown, have the nameplate option.

It would also be beneficial to simultaneously give all "categories" (so nameplate, sounds, bars, emphasize, messages, countdown, etc)"General full addon toggles," to be able to turn all of something off, and go back and just put the few on that you want, or reverse, toggling all of of a type on, and turning the few off, would be a lot more user friendly. Doing this rather than having things only have a disable box would be better. Basically, the toggles would do nothing besides a single box that would globally check or uncheck a given category's box on all things in that current season, for dungeons, or that specific raid, allowing you to then go to specific spells and abilities and do what you want, starting from most of the work done if you want that category mostly off, or mostly on. The reality is, for most people, walking into a dungeon with any given category all on is pretty spammy, so a way to choose to start with everything toggled on or off on a per-category basis would be nice.

If possible, separating the dungeon toggles from raid boss toggles would also be appreciated, or even have one set of toggles for "Current Season Dungeons," one set for "Current Season Raid," and then maybe have a starting page for every dungeon with just a toggle page for that dungeon would be nice so you could do things on a per dungeon basis, so you can keep old dungeon settings when a given dungeon is inevitably reused in mythic+. I know I read in discord that a way to toggle just nameplates on or off as a whole was being worked on, but a way to do this for the other categories would be beneficial instead of having the disable box on the few categories that have one, bc chances are most ppl do not want an entire notification type perma-disabled, but want to either disable them all, and go back to turn important ones on, or visa versa, and it gets extremely tedious going through each dungeon spell by spell unchecking just a few things for each spell. Having these toggles broken down by "current season," "Current raid" and have pages that will do "each specific dungeon separately" would also be very nice. Thanks!
