EquipCompare Reference Guide - Vanilla World of Warcraft Addon
EquipCompare is an addon that displays your currently equipped item when you mouseover an item of the same type. This is a standard feature in most RPGs and is in World of Warcraft, but only when you are at the Auction House or a Vendor. This addon enables it in your bags, quest rewards, loot window, etc.

World of Warcraft: Classic Compatibility
EquipCompare is no longer needed in World of Warcraft: Classic. The functionality is built in to the client. Hold down shift when hovering over an item to see what you have equipped.
