I haven't tried it on a wiki, but the command-line Unix utility wget can be
used to mirror a website.
http://www.gnu.org/software/wget/manual/html_node/Advanced-Usage.html
I usually call it like this:
wget -m -p http://www.site.com/
common flags:
-m = mirroring on/off
-p = page_requisites on/off
-c = continue - when download is interrupted
-l5 = reclevel - Recursion level (depth) default = 5
