Until yesterday, I thought that Wikipedia's static
dumps were generated with the
maintenance/dumpHTML.{php,ini} scripts. But the page
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Alternative_parsers currently reads: "This has
been used (years ago) to create the static dumps at
http://static.wikipedia.org"quot;.
So, what is the method currently used to generate the dumps? I need to dump a
wiki for offline use, and I'd like to be as compatible as possible.
(I'd also like to dump the math equations and other extensions I have installed,
so I thought staying as close as possible to mediawiki would be the way to go).
Wow, that comment was addeed by me almost 3 years ago (7 May 2006)

The way to create static dumps is in fact to use dumpHTML (now as its
own extension).
That comment meant 'they are no longer being generated, don't expect to
get new static dumps there', not 'they now use a new system'. Sorry for
the confusion.
Different ways for offline viewing a wiki:
*Mediawiki (+PHP+Apache+Mysql) installed on usb drive
*dumpHTML
*http://www.kiwix.org/
*http://www.wiki-web.es/mediawiki-offline-reader/
*ZenoReader (
