Dumping Wiki info into an offline text file should be as simple as this:

lynx -dump {URL}

or:

links -dump {URL}

depending on which you have installed.  These commands will dump the
contents of the specified URL pages into formatted plain-text files.
We use it regularly in my LinuxFromScratch project to create
plain-text files from our HTML books rendered from XML Docbook.
