"Mage" does not mean they can go mid or solo. The roles listed do not define what lane they go in, just how they play.

Here's how Riot defines a mage:

[http://forums.na.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?p=39858469 Mages are mostly ranged champions who prioritize powerful abilities over basic attacks. Typically mages are characterized by some combination of long-range, area-effect or high-utility spells to get the job done. A skilled mage can have a huge impact on any team with their versatile skillsets and flexible playstyle.]

Nothing about a lane, just playstyle.
