This page describes the rules dictating the uploading of translations from an external resources, as well as the protocol for light novel translation groups to become affiliated with Baka-Tsuki.
One of Baka-Tsuki's goals is to spread the popularity of light novels among the English-speaking community, so we are very interested in networking with external translation groups to make it easier for our readers to find more translations. Please contact a Wiki Supervisor for details.
Definition
An external translation group is defined as an individual or group of individuals who already have a primary external location for hosting their translations, AND would like to stay recognized as a entity outside of Baka-Tsuki.
Individuals can be external translation groups, so material originally posted on publicly visible personal translation blogs can also qualify under this definition.

An Affiliated Project is defined as an external light novel translation group that shares links to translations without posting the raw text on Baka-Tsuki.
Hosted Projects
