create wiki pages in site pages library using powershell

Question

Create Wiki Pages in site pages library using Power shell in sharepoint 2010. Please help.

Answer 1

SharePoint SSOM comes with built-in method for creating wiki pages SPUtility.CreateNewWikiPage method, for example:

$WebUrl = "http://contoso.intranet.sp.dev/faq/"
$web = Get-SPWeb $WebUrl
$wikiPages = $web.Lists["Pages"]
$wikiPage = [Microsoft.SharePoint.Utilities.SPUtility]::CreateNewWikiPage($wikiPages, [System.String]::Format("{0}/{1}", $wikiPages.RootFolder.ServerRelativeUrl, "MyFAQ.aspx"));

but unfortunately it creates non-editable wiki pages due to inability to correctly specify page layout.

How to create wiki page using SSOM in PowerShell

    $wikiPages = $web.Lists["Pages"]
    $pSite = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.PublishingSite($web.Site) 
    $pageLayoutUrl = $web.Site.Url + "/_catalogs/masterpage/EnterpriseWiki.aspx"
    $pageLayout = $pSite.PageLayouts[$pageLayoutUrl]
    $pWeb = [Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.PublishingWeb]::GetPublishingWeb($web)
    $wikiPage = $pWeb.GetPublishingPages().Add($PageName, $pageLayout);
    $wikiPage.Title = [System.IO.Path]::GetFileNameWithoutExtension($PageName)
    $wikiItem = $wikiPage.ListItem

Answer 2

  $wiki = $web.GetList($web.Url.ToString() + "/SitePages")
  $rootFolder = $wiki.RootFolder;

  $wikipage = $rootFolder.Files.Add($rootFolder.ServerRelativeUrl + 
 "/test.aspx", [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPTemplateFileType]::WikiPage)

  $wikiItem = $wikipage.Item;

  $wikiItem[[Microsoft.SharePoint.SPBuiltInFieldId]::WikiField] = "Test";

  $wikiItem.UpdateOverwriteVersion();

Use $rootFolder.ServerRelativeUrl to get over "Value does not fall within the expected range" exception when adding wiki apge to site pages using powershell

  $site=Get-SPSite $siteURL
  $web=$site.RootWeb
  $list=$web.Lists[$listName]                
  $rootFolder = $list.RootFolder
  $wikiPage = $rootFolder.Files.Add("/"+$rootFolder+"/Home.aspx", [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPTemplateFileType]::WikiPage)
  $wikiItem = $wikiPage.Item
  $wikiItem[[Microsoft.SharePoint.SPBuiltInFieldId]::WikiField] = "Template Preview"
