→Shortening grid-based codes by context: remove misleading footnote (the algorithm for full OLCs is open source, and there is no fixed algorithm for generating mixed codes), partial reword |

The examples of the ''Mixed reference'' column are significantly easier than remembering ''DGG code'' column. The methods vary, for example OLC can be shortened by elimination of its first four digits and attaching a suitable sufficiently close locality<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://github.com/google/open-___location-code/wiki/Guidance-for-shortening-codes|title = Guidance for shortening codes · google/Open-___location-code Wiki|website = [[GitHub]]}}</ref>
When the mixed reference is also short (9 characters in the second example) and there are a syntax convention to express it (suppose <code>CP‑PR~bgxed</code>), this convention is generating a new [[#Name-and-grid systems|name-and-grid geocode system]]. This is not the case of the first example because, strictly speaking, "Cape Verde, Praia" is not a code.
