The wiki's angle: Bitcoin World's README is a near word-for-word template — the same sentences, with other names and heights, open the Bitcoin Community README.[1][3]

README

The README says Bitcoin World “is a fork of the Bitcoin blockchain that will occur at block height 499777, at roughly 12:00:00 UTC December 17, 2017”[1]. Block 499,777 was mined at 12:11:17 UTC that day[2]. It adds that miners would begin creating blocks “with a new proof-of-work algorithm”[1]. The Bitcoin Community README uses the same wording for block 506066[3].

Record

The 2019 fork list gives “Bitcoin World (BTW) (1 BTC = 10000 BTW)” and, for 26 February 2019, says it “seems to have no nodes (no DNS seeds)”[4].
