Copying Wiki Pages To New Wiki Page Library via PowerShell

This process will copy a wiki page from one library to another.
Note: this process will set up the destination page as a "linked" document to the original. I'm sure there is a way to remove the "link" via code, but manually you need to accomplish this by editing the wiki page and clicking "Unlink" in the upper right of the page. Also, any wiki links that you set up pointing to your source wiki as an absolute hyperlink (<a href….>). The link needs to be removed and brackets added back to point to the current wiki.
If you are simply moving the wiki pages, choose .MoveTo() instead of .CopyTo() on the list item object.
$oldSite = new-object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSite("http://sitename.url.com/");
$oldWeb = $oldSite.AllWebs["/"];
$oldList = $oldWeb.Lists["Wiki Pages"];
"Got Destination List"
"Beginning Copy"
$itemCount = 0
$oldList.Items | foreach-object{
$tempItem = $_;
$tempUrl = "http://newsite.url.com/newWikiPageLibrary/" + $tempItem.Name;
$tempItem.CopyTo($tempUrl);
$tempUrl;
$itemCount = $itemCount + 1;
}
"Done Copying " + $itemCount + " items…";
