A fork announced for 30 January 2018 whose archived site showed only a countdown and “Coming soon...”; the 2019 list marked it abandoned.

The wiki's angle: Bitcoin LITE is the thinnest record in the fork list — a date, a site and no code.[1]

Record

The 2019 fork list gives “Bitcoin LITE (BTCL)”, “fork on 30th January 2018”, the site bitcoinlite.us and “no source code available”, and says it “seems abandoned”[1]. It gives no fork height[1].

Site

The site's archived copy of 17 January 2018 shows only “Bitcoin Lite hard fork”, a countdown marked approximate and “Coming soon...”[2]. It lists countries that had “contributed to the project”: Belarus, China, India, Italy, Moldova, Russia and the USA[2].
