Added transclusion tags.

New page

<section begin=long description />A '''long description''' allows for added customization to items that is visible upon {{boldmono|[[LOOK]]ing}} at a character and in some messaging. This field is separate from the item's [[base description]], although it incorporates at least the item's noun and possibly other portions of the base description as well.

Long descriptions are not limited to the 15/15/15 rule of the base description, and generally contain slightly more detail. Long descriptions do ''not'' have to take the format of 15/15/15 followed by a long description, but can instead be around 60 characters or 12 words in any order.

''Note:'' Some people call the long description a ''tap description,'' but since the base description is also called this at times, it can be confusing.<section end=long description />
