Up to now I've got the best results with HTTrack. It Includes the sidebar on most of the pages. Just a pity that it doesn't show pictures that have their size adapted (e.g. [File:Francis Franck.jpeg|left|200x640px| ]).
It think we can close the case here. Thanks again for your reactions.

It sounds like you're trying to produce a static copy of your site for
backup or offline use?
Indeed, my intention is to create a standalone copy of my wiki for
archive purposes. 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.
If so, maybe see the project here https://github.com/openzim/mwoffliner
or this previous discussion https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitext-l/2020-February/000994.html
I have tested mwoffliner but that doesn't incorporate sidebars and seem
to have problems with categories and namespaces. I had the impression that Parsoid was much better equipped to make a thrustworthy copy.
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.
