Answers.Body: <p>"is it possible to add a contact from the contribution page"</p>
  
  <p>Yes, when you visit the Contribution page select the 'want to do this as a different person' eg from <a href="http://dmaster.demo.civicrm.org/civicrm/contribute/transact?reset=1&amp;id=1" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://dmaster.demo.civicrm.org/civicrm/contribute/transact?reset=1&amp;id=1</a> or just bookmark the link
  <a href="http://dmaster.demo.civicrm.org/civicrm/contribute/transact?cid=0&amp;reset=1&amp;id=1" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://dmaster.demo.civicrm.org/civicrm/contribute/transact?cid=0&amp;reset=1&amp;id=1</a></p>
  
  <p>the important bit is the cid=0</p>
  
  <p>Then you can fill out the Contribution Page as anonymous and use that approach to create the Contact.</p>
  
  <p>If this isn't a useful Answer then I really haven't understood your question.</p>

Body: <p>While adding a contribution manually, the first step is to find a contact. If the contact is not found, I remember being able to select 'new contact' from the bottom of the autocomplete list. As at 4.7.25 is it possible to add a contact from the contribution page or do we need to move to 'new individual' if the contact is not found while taking payments?</p>

  "is it possible to add a contact from the contribution page"
  
  Yes, when you visit the Contribution page select the 'want to do this as a different person' eg from <http://dmaster.demo.civicrm.org/civicrm/contribute/transact?reset=1&id=1> or just bookmark the link
  <http://dmaster.demo.civicrm.org/civicrm/contribute/transact?cid=0&reset=1&id=1>
  
  the important bit is the cid=0
  
  Then you can fill out the Contribution Page as anonymous and use that approach to create the Contact.
  
  If this isn't a useful Answer then I really haven't understood your question.
