Don't get me wrong. It is legitimate to experiment and try to determine whether there are HTML instructions that might crash or freeze common browsers.
Preferably, *not* on Wikipedia itself, though. "Wikipedia is not a web host" applies quite strongly here, and it's quite easy to set up a MediaWiki instance where you can play a crashing browsers and whatnot. While the tester may not mean harm, a local (and hence transcludable) page on English Wikipedia that caused problems for browsers would be a gift to any alert vandals.
