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".
