I'm pretty sure that we've all seen how disruptive Q was to the travels of the Enterprise-D and Voyager. (It's likely documented within their captain and personal logs.)
Given how Starfleet Command almost dismissed the Spock incident and almost all Vulcan mysticism (TOS: "Search For Spock"), has Starfleet itself (or the Federation of Planets for that matter) ever acknowledged the existence of the Q Continuum?
Answer
Yes. Knowledge of Q is widespread among Starfleet personnel.
JANEWAY: Look, I don't know what you want here, but I know who you are. Every captain in Starfleet has been briefed about your appearances on the Enterprise, and I warn you...
QUINN: My appearances? Oh, you've mistaken me for. Oh, well, no matter,
Apparently these briefings include specific mention of the Q Continuum
JANEWAY: The hell you will. The vaunted Q Continuum. Self-anointed guardians of the universe. How dare you come aboard this ship and endanger this crew with your personal tug of war.
Those same briefings were also given to Sisko
O'BRIEN: We've got a problem. sir. I just saw Q on the Promenade.
SISKO: Q? Here?
KIRA: What's Q?
SISKO: A powerful and extremely unpredictable entity. I was at a Starfleet briefing on him two years ago.
