On my site I use MediaWiki 1.24.1, PHP 5.3.20 and MySQL 5.1.67. For some reason the edit toolbar will not appear when I make an edit to a page, nor will the search 'recommendations' bar. I have a feeling it's a problem with Javascript, but is it something else? What can I do to fix it?

Have you checked Manual:How to debug? When it comes to JavaScript, your browser's developer console will also display JavaScript errors.
Sadly my host has a lot of downtime right now, so I can't access it.
The JS error says: 'Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token'.
In which file? In which line? You can pass debug=true as a URL parameter in the browser's address bar.
I realised it was my hosting provider which is injecting advertising into core MediaWiki files. I'll open a support ticket with them.
Just a naugthy comment: You should maybe change your hosting provider, too ;)
Do I have to? Anyway, it says that isn't possible.
If they won't disable ad injection on generated JavaScript files, then you must change your hosting if you want a working MediaWiki.
Wow, i hope you doesn't pay for this host service :) But +1 to the answer of Ciencia Al Poder: it seems you need to change your host.
Yeah I'll do that.
