dumpHTML is an extension for generating a simple HTML dump, including images and media files, of a MediaWiki installation. MediaWiki versions before 1.12.0 used the maintenance script dumpHTML.php instead.

Example to create a complete snapshot including image and media files and image thumbnail files in directory wikidump (LINUX)
/usr/bin/php /srv/www/mediawiki/extension/DumpHTML/dumpHTML.php -d /srv/www/mediawiki/wikidump -k monobook --image-snapshot --force-copy
[edit] Filename problems solved by a modified version of DumpHTML
If you intend to use the wikidump on a CD/DVD or on a Windows filesystem, and if your wiki pages or files had non-ASCII characters, which is likely, then you probably need to change the link references, the directories and filenames from UTF-8 (on Linux) to the character encoding on your Windows (for example to codepage 1252 for Western-European systems), but browsers may still have difficulties to access the files.
Bugzilla 8147 "Filenames in the HTML static dump" comes with such a patch for DumpHTML.inc and converts article, image, thumbnail image and media filenames to their MD5-hashed version. Snapshots can then be written to CD/DVDs and filename character encoding problems on different operation systems are avoided.
[edit] Skin hacking
If you modified your skin (e.g. monobook) then this script will likely fail. Upgrade/update your mediawiki installation and replace any "hacked" skins, then re-try.
