After a long Request for Comment at Help talk:Citation Style 1, consensus was reached for creating a new template to allow robust and standardized citations for revelations and epiphanies experienced by Wikipedia editors. The template, {{ Cite altered state}}, offers a number of parameters representing a broad range of philosophical, religious, and pharmaceutical experiences.

{{Cite altered state
| thought          =
| author           =
| date             =
| state            =
| substance1       =
| dose1            =
| substance2       =
| dose2            =
| background-audio =
| audio-author     =
| url              =
| access-date      =
| medium           =
| like-whoa-man    =
}}

Examples:

• "God explains little and decides nothing." Revealed to me in a dream. Sleep: Selected Ambient Works 85–92, Aphex Twin. 2023-03-19.

• "Each human soul is a temporary fragment of the eternal, an ephemeral window from which the Absolute can be glimpsed." Psilocybe cubensis: 4 grams. August 1994.

• "An alligator with wings would just be a dragon." Whiskey: 6 shots. Subsequent substances: not clearly remembered. Like ten years ago. Like, whoa, man.

• "The government is bullshit." Really thinking about it: A few weeks. September 2011.

It's hoped that this template, and the accompanying citation guidelines, will allow us to finally put into articles the revelations, fully-baked ideas, cosmic truths, and toaster inventors that Wikipedia has always struggled to properly include.
