Because of its relation with the cities' history I would like to get the wiki stored in the Archive of the city of Alkmaar but the problem is that they are not equipped for a Mediawiki-oriented structure. The require a fully html oriented version.

mwoffliner builds on the Parsoid output.
Parsoid only handles the page content, not the chrome, so it won't give you the sidebar, etc.
Please see above linked discussion for some ideas on how to make html dumps of your wiki.
Particularly,

How do I launch Parsoid's conversion of my website?
Apparently, I succeeded in doing it, because I found an html copy of my
site in a directory called localhost. (I'm running Ubuntu under Windows 10).
Parsoid seems properly installed. The command "curl -L
http://localhost:8142/localhost/v3/page/html/Main_Page/ " gives the
expected result and my website "http://localhost/mediawiki/" uses
"VisualEditor".
My first question : how do I instruct Parsoid to start converting my whole
site?
And secondly: how can I learn Parsoid to add ".html" to the links it
creates ? At present it makes links like "<a
