is it possible to make an alias where you type "who family" and it outputs something else? up until now i have only used 1 word, just wondering if you could use 2 some how.

ZMud will interpret the two things as two things.

You can make an alias out of the first word and then ignore the second
word completely:
#ALIAS who {#ECHO Do something else here;#NOOP Something to catch the paramter and ignore it}

Or you can store all the words after for reference or something:

#ALIAS who {#ECHO Do something different;#VAR whoparams "%-1";#SHOW Passed to the who alias @whoparams}

If you want to replace the who command and do send a changed who command
make sure you ~ the command in the alias so you don't cause a loop:

#ALIAS who {~who -i -t -b %-1}

Or you could just use who_family or WhoFamily heh

I am currently using who_family, but im so used to typing it in without the underscore that i often forget so im just trying to find a way to type it in without the underscore and have it still work

#ALIAS who {#IF (%1 = "family") {your code here}}

#AL who {~who %replace( %-1, "family", "your family goes here")}

This allows you to use family anywhere, not just as the first item. It will also work with multiple families.
