Are Wonders also Buildings?
In some of the policies, I see they help in constructing buildings. Are Wonders a building? If they are not, it should say all Buildings except Wonders, or something like that.

No. Wonders are not Buildings. Sorry you got confused but they're in a different construction category altogether so there's no need for such wording.

Glad to see the answer, but that's a little dic way to answer "sorry you got confused". The ingame "civelopedia" has a very ambiguous definition of "buildings" which basically suggests just 2 categories (units and buildings) - so maybe "sorry the developer doesn't make this clear at all" - rather than suggesting a person is "confused".

You sure about that? I'm pretty sure the Happiness choice that involves 20% more production towards buildings works on wonders.

Buildings can be constructed through the Production Menu in much the same way units are produced.

This is the entry that tripped you up? It doesn't say anything about Wonders but you somehow thought that Wonders are Buildings? And now you're upset that someone said you got confused? Take a look at the entry for Production:

Production is one of the main resources in Civilization VII. It is the measure by which Cities build units, buildings, Wonders, and complete projects.

Not only here but everywhere else throughout the game, they DO make it clear that Buildings and Wonders are not the same thing. YOU made an incorrect assumption, then YOU made a demand that the developers need to cater to your mistake.

They don't need to change anything. And I am not sorry for saying you got confused.

Are you talking about the Celebration bonus gained by selecting Oligarchy for your government? Nope, it doesn't. There is a separate one for Wonders in the Classical Republic government.

Maybe someone will test and find that it does boost Wonders. If it does it's most certainly a bug.

It is not a bug. It is as I said above, they simply need to word it better. Just like about 75% of the entire UI
