I voted yes, at least for projects that consist only of links. Projects were the links fill the holes in the BT translations could remain as links as long as there is no own BT translation.

But I would also approve if pure linked projects would have at least a own category and couldnt be placed under full projects.
Please don't mind my bad english since I'm german.

I feel the linked projects don't really do much good. I used to go to baka tsuki to read LN's, now its just a hub of links. There are other sites for that. A new section would be fine with me, as would be outright removing linked projects.

Earlier I wrote in support of linked projects. But seeing the number of linked projects and having not so good experience with some links, I edited my post and voted for changes (3rd option). Now I think the projects must be hosted on Baka-tsuki. The translators can link to their site like the translators of Highschool DxD have done. Sorry for the edits in 2 posts above.

This is rather late, but I do prefer to have content hosted on B-T itself, even if it may be mirrored elsewhere such as on a translator's blog before appearing here. Especially because I'm a user of the BakaReader EX app, and links mean that I have to have internet access. One problem, however, is that some projects have multiple translators or groups, and some are hosted, whilst some are not, so this is where I feel that links should remain.
please notice me, senpai!

While I do prefer internal/hosted projects, I don't mind linked ones... though frequently these projects are not maintained by the translator but by fans/readers and might not always be up to date.
