mwDumper is essential also for anyone wiling to replicate a wiki locally for any purpose. There are alternatives such as xml2SQL or importDump.php but mwDumper is the most efficient in terms of correctness and completeness or speed sometimes.

We use the DumpHTML extension (

make static copies of our wikis. It used to be a maintenance script. Maybe that would work for you?
The DumpHTML extension is something else... this is tool a to get a static HTML version of Mediawiki articles.
If you speak from http://static.wikipedia.org/... this is also an other topic because these pages are not our content, but only a not customizable view of our content (I can't do nothing with it).
Our content is the wiki code and the files (images, etc.) ... and this is what seems not to be fully reusable currently.

PS: DumpHTML seems also not to be maintened currently... have a look to the bug reports.
