Wikipedia- Hamburger

A hamburger, or simply a burger, is a dish consisting of fillings—usually a patty of ground meat, typically beef—placed inside a sliced bun or bread roll.

Note that "typically" and "always" are of different meanings. I've made sliders with ground pork before, what is a slider if not a small burger?

A burger is a sandwich with a patty made of ground meat. That meat can be beef, pork, turkey, hell, even chicken if that's your sort of thing. And, like you said, veggies.

It's really pretty uncommon to call a chicken sandwich or a sausage breakfast sandwich a "burger." The term comes from the meat inside of it, hamburger, so generally speaking, other fillings will be called a "sandwich" instead of a "burger." I guess you could call those things burgers, but it would be weird.

And no, a "slider" isn't a "small burger" (it can be), it's a sandwich. A burger is also just a sandwich, so calling a specific sandwich a "burger" vs a "slider" means two different things, a "burger" is larger and generally has ground beef (but occasionally veggies or similar), and a "slider" is a small, usually round sandwich.
