The point is that right now mimic spawn information is not completely understood. Everything else spawns and moves around, mimics spawn and remain stationary due to their nature. They seem to be more rare than any of the other new monsters, in terms of spawn rate, and the only way to gather information on what makes them spawn is to gather observation-based data, compile and analyze it. If nothing conclusive can be determined, at least people will have the information on which to base their own exploration. Granted, it's only needed for farming and potentially elitist playstyles, but a wiki IS for that sort of information as well. Read: strategy and progression.
