N.B. reporting of the edit history is currently fairly unclear and misleading. Most edits made to specimens appear as a pair of 'add' and 'delete' entries, which may not be together in the list. There are also often 'minor' edits, which are made automatically (rather than due to user activity), for example to merge synonym names.

To answer your question:
I delete all but 4 digits from each of the x and y groups. Then take the first figure of each group and enter a slash.

eg x(abcdooooo) y(efghooooo) > abcd efgh > ae/bcd fgh

In this form the input box will convert it to a two letter hectad plus a 6-figure grid ref,which you can then reduce as required. I don't know an easier way. But like Mike I try to use getamap if at all possible.
