There are programs that will crawl a website for offline use such as
http://www.httrack.com/

But the sheer number amount of links on a wiki page means (unless
configured carefully to ignore the links pointing to other WGs and
workspaces) makes it unwieldy to do

Usually I manually export pages as PDFs (under "Tools" menu when
logged in, there is an "Export to PDF" option, although the downside
is that comments on the page aren't included in the PDF. If the wiki
comments are important, then I print the pages to PDF.

Space admins (such as At-Large Staff) have the option to export entire
spaces or a subset of pages in that space as PDFs or as static HTML
pages. See

https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONF43/Exporting+Confluence+Pages+and+Spaces+to+HTML

This seems to be the most straightforward method.
