Import (add books) template?
You have a bigger problem
You can't import a series index without a series Name (also) preexisting
You need to use a file renamer to insert the series name before import as Calibre can not use path info.
You could use the Manage Series PI to help do in bulk,
(this is a per-series task)
THEN use Bulk metadata edit to finish the cleanup of the Title (remove the number)
