Much of existing work in information extraction assumes the static nature of relationships in fixed knowledge bases. However, in collaborative environments such as Wikipedia, information and structures are highly dynamic over time. In this work, we introduce a new method to extract complex event structures from Wikipedia. We propose a new model to represent events by engaging multiple entities, generalizable to an arbitrary language. The evolution of an event is captured effectively based on analyzing the user edits history in Wikipedia. Our work provides a foundation for a novel class of evolution-aware entity-based enrichment algorithms, and considerably increases the quality of entity accessibility and temporal retrieval for Wikipedia. We formalize this problem and introduce an efficient end-to-end platform as a solution. We conduct comprehensive experiments on a real dataset of
