 Wikipedia:Linking 

Tony, FYI, I've restored the change to ""relevant"" at Wikipedia:Linking. For one, it was suggested/changed by two separate editors in the past week as preferable to ""germane"". I'd agree that ""relevant"" does feel more accessible to a general audience, and several dictionary and thesaurus definitions indicate that the terms are interchangeable in this context. If there is a link to a point when specific language using ""germane"" was agreed to, could you please provide it? If so, I'll self-revert, but otherwise it seems best to stick with ""relevant"".
