			{{Command
	The '''{{tt\|show}} [[page type is::command\|command]]''' allows you to show the {{com\|look}} description of an item to another player. If that item is held in one of your hands, it also allows that player to {{com\|appraise}} it.

			\|combat=No
			\|magic=No
			\|settings=No
			\|systems=Yes
			\|description=Shows a worn or held item's description to a person, creature or object. It also controls whether a worn item remains visible despite item hiders.

	It does not always display the {{com\|read}} description, but it does show whether it exists in the cases it does not show it. If your item does not show the READ, you can hold it in your hand and submit a {{com\|bug}} for it to let staff take a look.

		⚫	*{{tt\|SHOW <item> TO <target>}}
			: Shows a worn or held item to a person, creature or object. A person sees the item's description. If you hold the item in a hand, the person can also temporarily {{com\|appraise}} it.
			*{{tt\|SHOW <item> ALWAYS}}
			: Makes a worn item remain visible when people {{com\|look}} at the wearer, regardless of any item hiders being worn.
			*{{tt\|SHOW <item> NORMAL}}
			: Restores a worn item's normal interaction with item hiders.

			==Game Helpfile==
			<pre>
			Format: SHOW {object} TO {target}

		⚫	SHOW {object} ALWAYS to make a worn item always show, regardless of what hiders you are wearing.
		⚫	SHOW {object} NORMAL to make it hideable by hider items again.
			</pre>

			==Notes==
			*The ordinary targeted form requires the shown item to be worn or held. Scripted items and targets can produce their own results.
			*A person shown an item sees its description. Some items also display additional descriptive or readable text. SHOW does not always display readable text, but can indicate that writing is present. Items that omit expected writing can be reported with {{com\|bug}} while held.
			*{{tt\|ALWAYS}} and {{tt\|NORMAL}} require the item to be worn. Some wearable items do not support the {{tt\|ALWAYS}} setting.
			*Showing an item to yourself is refused with: ''Don't be silly, just look at it.''
