Faerie Artisans

What constitutes “other tokens created with Faerie Artisans”?

The Release Notes say this: If you control multiple Faerie Artisans, each one’s ability only exiles tokens created with the ability of that specific Faerie Artisans.

Is the effect limited to exiling only tokens created by previous instances of that ability on that Artisans?

Can it exile other tokens created by different abilities of that Faerie Artisans?
eg. if Faerie Artisans was enchanted by Splinter Twin would the trigger exile tokens created by the Splinter Twin ability?

If Vitu-Ghazi Guildmage had created tokens by populating and became a copy of Faerie Artisans and triggered, would the trigger exile the populated tokens?

If it was Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet that became a copy of Faerie Artisans, would its zombie tokens get exiled by the trigger?

I take it to mean this:

tokens created by an activated or triggered ability that have this permanent as a source except for tokens created by the currently resolving trigger

Would that be accurate? Or is the intent something else?

The ability printed on Faerie Artisans is what's known as a linked ability. Linked abilities are abilities printed on the same object that, taken collectively, will do something and then later refer back to what they caused to happen in some way. For a basic example, see a card like Voice of All–the second ability causes you to make a choice, and the third ability refers back to the choice you made for the second ability. Those two abilities are linked to each other.

The important thing to remember about linked abilities is that a linked ability can only ever refer back to the ability it is linked to–it will never look at other abilities that aren't linked, even if those abilities cause similar things to happen as the linked abilities do. Faerie Artisans is a bit unusual in that its ability is linked not to a different ability, but instead to itself; however, the same principle still applies–the ability of Faerie Artisans can only ever exile objects that were put onto the battlefield with that same printed instance of that same ability.

So the Splinter Twin tokens, the populate tokens, the Zombie tokens–none of them will get exiled by Faerie Artisans, because none of them were created by abilities linked to the Artisans' trigger.

For more details on linked abilities, see section 607 of the CR.
