Firstly, thank you all for your fast and useful inputs!
Pardon me for answering all together in a compiled way,
with my comments below and inline yours...

Given a wiki and a list of article titles, we can make
an offline
snapshot easily. To me the question is: What kind of selections? Based
on which approach? Using which data exactly?... and then probably find
to apply it and get the list of article titles.
I can easily say for a well covered monument it would be at least:
- Wikipedia pages on the Monument, Author, Location, Time of making
(ideally in at least 2 languages, possibly in two styles like EN & Simple)
- Commons page as a Gallery of related images, audio, video...3D model?
(ideally in higher and lower resolutions)
- Wikispore page with non-encyclopedic info on location and/or contexts
(ideally artistic, social and geographic focuses)

Ok this sounds a lot like our Wikipedia-on-Demand
project,
What is the way to follow it? Public repository?
ie enter a list of articles on one end and get the
corresponding zim file
on the other end. Release is planned for this Fall, so we’ll make sure to
put out a call so people can test it.
Great! Happy to test.
Doing something that works cross-wiki, on the other
hand, is another ball
game entirely and not on our roadmap at the moment (but make no mistake,
this would be a very cool feature).
Nice that you think so...happy to brainstorm more if there is good context
for this.

Sounds like a lovely idea.
Thank you!
Mapping to tiddlywiki would be very interesting.
Yes I think we need to consider other ways of wiki making.
Maybe
fed.wiki.org could also be interesting to experiment with.
What are the kiwix tools for compilation these days?
WikiBrowse <http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Activities/Wikipedia/HowTo> used
to do something similar.
Will look into it!

Dear fellows - I would like to offline host
minimal set of Wiki pages (Wikipedias, Wikispore, Commons)
and minimal set of media (images, video and audio)
that all branch out from single Reasonator
(or
Portal.toolforge.org <http://portal.toolforge.org/>) search...
...and that keep global links beyond 2 degrees
(so that one can use them to continue online).
For now I think of just downloading pages offline
and hosting them as mobile wiki-to-static pages
using wget with manual corrections.
I would love to do this for monuments and
tiny libraries like this
https://w.wiki/5QWn
so maybe have library-like single-file wiki
(like
https://tiddlywiki.com system)
so that users could connect to it
and live notices.
Anyone has idea if and how to do this better
and package in the most elegant way?
Anyone interested in collaborating?
