I think this template is very specific to the way you organize your
project.  Maybe you could write your own function like this :

(defun my-insert-org-template ()
   "Insert an interactive template."
   (interactive)
   (let ((comment (read-from-minibuffer "COMMENT: ")))
     (insert 
   "*** " comment " Template

You can interactively prompt for other strings than "COMMENT" and
insert them into the template.  This is just to give you the idea.

Help this helps,
