If you want the complete wiki pages, the process would probably be
* Download wiki dump
* Read wiki markup from dump and convert to HTML pages
* Combine HTML pages into StarDict dictionary
Unless you are lucky and find tools that do this exactly in the way you want (or some already did the steps for you), this will involve at leas some amount of programming. Also that it can be cumbersome to find information in large wiki pages (e.g. translations in Wiktionary pages).
Since I go the different route of using a [semantically parsed version of Wiktionary](
http://kaiko.getalp.org/about-dbnary/) and creating my own pages from that, I can't give specific instructions. I'm also not generating StarDict files directly, but I'm using [pyglossary](
