Well this one is NOT in the man page, its visible whe you do:

wget --help:

  -m,  --mirror                shortcut option equivalent to -r -N -l inf -nr.
  -nr, --dont-remove-listing   don't remove `.listing' files.
  -p,  --page-requisites       get all images, etc. needed to display HTML page.


So much for RTFM!
