Hi. I'm not sure what you mean by being "made editors". But talking about it is the first step of a merger so that's great!

Next what you need to do is decide which wiki to "keep" and which to close. One of you has to be admin on the one you want to keep..

Then go through the content of the one you want to close and check for any articles or images that don't exist on the other wiki. Make a list of those, and then use the export tool to download them from the wiki. On the "keep" wiki, use the same tool to import them (this has to be done by an admin). This step keeps the content and the edit history of the pages so they are not lost. Images can also be transferred.

Finally write to Special:Contact; ask them to close the appropriate wiki and redirect it to the other. You can also ask that the main URL of the combined wiki be at either one of the original URLs.... (ie, if you want the URL of the "closed" wiki to be the final URL, we will just re-assign it to the one you want to keep).

Is that a little bit clearer?
