Title: Is Changeling's FAQ wrong?

So for example you could gain Skulk, exchange it for a Changeling (returning Skulk to the Supply and putting Changeling into your discard pile), and still gain a Gold from Skulk's ability.

I thought the interaction should go like this: Gain Skulk to your discard pile -> gain Gold to your discard pile due to Skulk's ability; it covers up the Skulk -> Changeling loses track of Skulk

You can choose to have a Skulk and a Gold or a Skulk and a Changeling but can't get Changeling and Gold. Right?

Skulk and Changeling are both when-gain, so you can choose what order to do them. If you do Skulk first then you can't exchange it. But if you do Changeling first you still get the Gold.

But if you Summon a Skulk, it can't get set aside, because Skulk's when-gain ability triggers first.  It's all about timing.
