Thanks - I'm glad you picked up the message not long after I wrote it (apologies again for the late notice). Once we've imported the other wiki onto Wikia we can determine the best kind of merge to perform, but ideally it should keep the best of everything - there's no particular reason anything needs to be lost.

Media can be magically copied over, and I believe we should be able rename any filename duplicates (I'm not certain, but hopeful).

For articles, that's obviously more difficult - if the name is unique it can simply be added as a new article. If the filename matches, we may have a few options: rename the new one, or merge the histories. In the latter case, whichever version has the latest revision is the one that will be shown - and simple editing can switch that. Depending on how much the articles have diverged, I'm not sure which will work best - but it's something we can work out.
