How to get Sharepoint 2010 Wiki Page layouts to show with Powershell? - sharepoint

Question

I am trying to use Powershell to run through a list of wiki pages that were originally on a seperate wiki site. I want to migrate these to a Sharepoint 2010 Wiki site. I have a Powershell script that goes through all the files, creates a wiki page for each, sets the Page Content to the body HTML of the old page, and updates the itemm, but for some reason none of the layout is shown. The page is just blank with no boxes shown in Edit mode or Sharepoint Designer. Here is my script:
[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.SharePoint")
$SPSite = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSite("http://dev-sharepoint1/sites/brandonwiki");
$OpenWeb = $SpSite.OpenWeb("/sites/brandonwiki");
$List = $OpenWeb.Lists["Pages"];
$rootFolder = $List.RootFolder
$OpenWeb.Dispose();
$SPSite.Dispose()
$files=get-childitem ./testEx -rec|where-object {!($_.psiscontainer)}
foreach ($file in $files) {
$name=$file.Name.Substring(0, $file.Name.IndexOf(".htm"))
$strDestURL="/sites/brandonwiki"
$strDestURL+=$rootFolder
$strDestURL+="/"
$strDestURL+=$name;
$strDestURL+=".aspx"
$Page = $rootFolder.Files.Add($strDestUrl, [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPTemplateFileType]::WikiPage)
$Item=$Page.Item
$Item["Name"] = $name
$cont = Get-Content ./testEx/$file
$cont = $cont.ToString()
$Item["Page Content"] = $cont
$Item.UpdateOverwriteVersion();
}
Here is what a good page looks like in edit mode that was added manually:

And what the pages look like done through Powershell:

I found the answer. The script needs to create a Publishing Page instead of a List item. Then it will add the appropriate Wiki Page Layout and setup everything for you. Here is my new script that works for anyone that may also have this issue - Note it also replaces the doku links with Sharepoint ones - :
##################################################################################################################

[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.SharePoint") #Setup Sharepoint Functions
#Commonly Used Variables To Set
$baseSite = "http://sharepointSite" #Main Sharepoint Site
$subSite = "/sites/subSite" #Sharepoint Wiki sub-site
$pageFolder = "Pages" #Directory of Wiki Pages
$fileFolder = "Media" #Directory of Files
## Setup Basic sites and pages
$site = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSite($baseSite+$subSite) #Sharepoint Site
$psite = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.PublishingSite($baseSite+$subSite) #Publishing Site
$ctype = $psite.ContentTypes["Enterprise Wiki Page"] #Get Enterprise Wiki page content type
$layouts = $psite.GetPageLayouts($ctype, $true) #Get Enterprise Wiki page layout
$layout = $layouts[0] #Choose first layout
$web = $site.OpenWeb(); #Site.Rootweb
$pweb = [Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.PublishingWeb]::GetPublishingWeb($web) #Get the Publishing Web Page
$pages = $pweb.GetPublishingPages($pweb) #Get collection of Pages from webpage
## Get files in exported folder and parse them
$files=get-childitem ./testEx -rec|where-object {!($_.psiscontainer)} #Get all files recursively
foreach ($file in $files) { #Foreach file in folder(s)
$name=$file.Name.Substring(0, $file.Name.IndexOf(".htm")) #Get file name, stipped of extension
#Prep Destination url for new pages
$strDestURL=$subSite+$pageFolder+"/"+$name+".aspx"
#End Prep
$page = $pages.Add($strDestURL, $layout) #Add a new page to the collection with Wiki layout
$item = $page.ListItem #Get list item of the page to access fields
$item["Title"] = $name; #Set Title to file name
$cont = Get-Content ./testEx/$file #Read contents of the file
[string]$cont1 = "" #String to hold contents after parsing
### HTML PARSING
