I use this extension on my wiki (http://spiele.j-crew.de/, http://misc.j-crew.de/wiki-dump/), but I find it quite brittle in the face of MediaWiki software changes. Every few months, a change in trunk breaks the extension in one way or another. I recently submitted a bunch of fixes for the extension (see https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/17697/). These changes used to work for me a few months ago, but on current trunk image handling in DumpHTML is broken again (filename mangling of images seems broken, and thumbs are not included in the dump, which used to work). I think HTML dumps of Wikipedia would be very useful, but it needs someone from WMF who actively maintains this extension.
