As described on the help page, it is only necessary to have admin rights on the merge-to wikia, and then really only so pages can be imported to preserve their edit history. The pages can be exported by any user so no admin rights are required.

Aside from moving content, the other main requirement is that any community on the merge-from wikia be notified about (and, if active, agree to) the merge. This is true on all wikias, although we would clearly look more closely at the "community agreement" aspect in the case of a very active wikia. In either case, the discussion should be community-based; it's not necessary that an admin be involved if none are active.
